That is way beyond my expertise. Can you elaborate? I currently have an AT&T U-verse router, is there anyway to make it compatible?
It's kind of [Router]<>[WLAN]<>[WLAN.To.Ethernet-Device]<>[Ethernet]<>[iBook] connection.
It is a small box (2.2 x 2.2 x 0.7 in; 7.2 ounces) that you connect with a short wire to your ibook. It serves as an external wifi receiver. It has a simple web interface which explains everything, no need for expertise
Wow! That sounds so simple, why haven't I heard about it? So it's basically like an external USB wireless thing anyway?It is a small box (2.2 x 2.2 x 0.7 in; 7.2 ounces) that you connect with a short wire to your ibook.

As it takes its power from an USB port you'll even be able to carray the iBook around
Correct, but because it's connected via ethernet you don't have to worry about drivers
That's the exact device I'm talking about and it proved to be reliable, but every other similar device should do it too
Thanks guys! I thought this was the one actually. But I was not sure. However, it does say Wi-Fi router? Not a receiver? Does that mean it's also capable of receiving Wi-Fi signals as well? I don't want to change my home network at all.
the menubar showed full signal, the network helper program said 'everythings alright' but I had no internet.
Thank you so much! You are fantastic! And all of this happens on the iBook right? Not on my regular computer in my house?On the web surface one can change the working mode. You may want to set it as repeater or client. As client it serves as only a receiver, as repeater it serves as receiver and boosts your wifi at the same time, although i found the latter to be unstable and sometimes not working. It boosted an empty signal
Use it as client and be happy

EDIT: forgot to mention: setting it up as a client is very easy, select your wifi, enter password, connect, restart and violà
Great, hopefully the browser on the iBook will support that website! Thanks again!
Having a little trouble setting this up? How can I set this up on my iBook clamshell if there is no internet access yet? Should I do it on my iMac?On the web surface one can change the working mode.
