Is there a piece of hardware [or combination of pieces] that will perform the following functions bidirectionally: 1. Capture a wireless signal. 2. Amplify the signal. 3. Distribute the signal to a routing device for distribution to two or more computers? The objective here is to capture the strongest wireless network signal available and distribute it to two computers so that each can access the Internet.

No. The signal generated by any Wi-Fi device is controlled by radio regulations in most countries. Any device that amplified that signal beyond what is allowed would be illegal. Stuart

That is the description of a wireless bridge. see here: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorial... Now if your plan it to steal someone elses wireless connection consider the morality of such a choice. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

Are you trying to get free internet connectivity? That's how I read the question. :) Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

I will be waqiting for you. Once you get on my wifi you will be very sorry... i_XpUser
