Im trying to figure out how i can recieve a wirless signal through this router as a internet source and then share it on my network. My basic problem here is i got a dsl signal 2 miles down the road in line of sight to my house that i need to utilize. Now i have seen how u do it on the dsl end by hooking up a wireless router to the dsl and then addin***agi attena to that router but im really confused on how to be able to recieve that high gain signal and share it on my newwork i do own a dgl 4500 1.22FW so pease guys enlighten me on how this is done.

Your looking to take a DSL, broadcast it 2miles, then repeat it throughout your house? It can be done but..you do realize that this is going to be some sub-par connections rates right? Please don't tell me your looking to use it for gaming.

Im not a long range expert though. I will leave that to someone else to post. To be honest though, you might want to look into some industrial equipment. The 4500 just wasn't designed for this type of application.

My experience in Electronics, and communications tells me that this ain't gonna workman. LOL.

1. Trying to repeat a signal from miles down the road requires some serious radio and amplifier equipment that I'm sure you nor the ISP can afford for residential or even small busines.

2. This router is not designed for repeating or bridging. Only routers I have experience with that can are NG and Apple. Linksys might have some. Again, lowend routers.

3. This routers max range is approx. 5k-10k ft depending on configuration and obtructions. The signal power these routers put out is not much over a watt if that, I presume. You'd need much more then than to handle any sort of broad band over a long distance.

3. FCC put strict radio policies on radio signals on anything that transmits. 

People need to understand that these are lowend, home user and small business devices for general and gaming connections. There not meant for high end back bone type of connections or long distances. You wont see these at places like OEM's or ISPs. They use something bigger to handle there traffic needs.

That may also help. The thing is, if this is some attempt to "share" internet with your friend or neibor, its just not cost effective. The amount of investment you would have to make in equipment and installation would take years and years to make it worth it. And by then, you will have standards like WiMax and 4G/5G which will make it useless.
