wifi laptop and iks

[starter]

got a friend that just moved into a trailer park that gives wifi they can use, no cable, so question to experts as I have never tried any of this.

he can use his laptop to get internet service, so what would he use to get iks hooked up, my knowledge is only with a router(normal connection) can his laptop be used to hard wire to box? or will he need a wrt bridge, what options does he have,lost at the moment here, thanks guy'

yes he can , laptop bring in the internet and feeds the stb with a Cat 5 Crossover cable. not a standard cat 5 cable .

Was thinking the same thing as I was reading through this thread.

Here is a guide to setting up a repeater using a wireless router.

This will not only give your friend an option of IKS to your friend's receiver, but other local (in house) wired / wireless connections that he can control as well.
