no because wirless routers are used for in home wirless inless your houses are very close you may be able to git a wireless router booster for router and one for labtop

Answer 3

Probably not. Wireless internet is like a cordless phone. If your cordless phone will reach to their house then the internet should too. You would probably have to have a 5.8ghz router. Try it and see.

Answer 4

Depends on a lot of things...only way to find out is try it.  Most reach 100-500 feet, give or take depending on weather, interference, and obstructions.

Plants, trees, and bushes will decrease the signal quickly...and put the router as high as you can (preferably in a window) to help it out.

I could "see" one person's network in my list 6 houses away but it was at an angle (I'm on a side-street) so I had nothing in the way from my house to their back yard...but I can't use my computer at my next-door neighbor's house only 50 feet away because of all their trees between my house and theirs.
