I currently have a WAG120N( http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/support/WAG120N) router and I would like to know if it's possible to configure it to connect to a different wireless network(WEP with no password) so I can get internet access on it and then to connect a pc to this router(WAG120N) so I can take advantage of the internet connection.

Basically I think that my need is a kind of yagi antenna but as I already got this router I would like to know if I can use instead it of yagi .
Thank you in advance for any answer !

Yes of course - that's what routers do (but its not acting as a "client" its just a router). But running a wifi network with no authentication is just asking for trouble.

Its not clear what the problem you are trying solve is. Is the PC out of range of the current router? If so, just use a Wifi repeater. You've flagged this as 'wireless bridge' does that mean you have no wifi on the PC? Adding a Wifi adapter would be a lot cheaper than buying another router.

Basically the wifi is too far from my PC so I cannot directly access the wifi spot therefore I was looking to use the router(as it has better range) to connect to the wifi and then simply connect the pc to the router via ethernet or wireless . – mihai Aug 11 '10 at 18:24
If you already have the hardware in lpace - then yes - use the Wifi router as a router. – symcbean Aug 12 '10 at 11:31
