I have recently moved into a new house. I noticed that when I booted my computer I was picking up a wireless signal from someone in the neighborhood using an unsecured router? Since this is being broadcasted with no security in place can I use this? In other words, is it legal to use this internet connection since it is available? Also, I was told that the router that I own would act as an acess point an just boost the signal if there was already an wireless internet signal present. This has not been the case. I have picked up the signal with my wireless card on my desktop then ran an ethernet cable to the router which it turn distributes the signal out. If this is legal I am planning to use an older CPU to pickup the signal to run into the router so that all of my other computers can ramain behind my personal router.
