It depends on how strong the signal is that you're receiving from that far away. There's almost certainly a fair bit of interference from the source to you. You're going to need to find a way to bump up the reception. The easiest way is probably with a cantenna.

Though if there's considerable traffic between you and the signal source, it may be that it's just not strong enough to be usable short of putting up a huge antenna.

If your question is about gaining access to a commerical wifi source (a coffee shop, etc.) and you're wanting information about how to access a closed "free" network, I can't help you with that since it's certainly against the spirit of their intentions.

Will WIFI work with dial up Internet?

Practically speaking, no. Even if you had some way of connecting a dial-up connection to a wireless router, the already limited bandwidth would be much too slow to be used by more than one person. And since connection speeds on wireless routers tend to drop off the farther you are away from it, the connection quality would become unusable rather quickly.


Can you go to a school that is 10 blocks away from you?

Perhaps. That all depends upon the school district boundaries, and the policies governed by the school board. Some school boards will let you go to a school that is outside the district you are in if you have sufficient reason, and if the school is not overcrowded. If you're referring to post-secondary or higher education (i.e. College), yes you can. If you are outside the funding area, the tuition may be higher, but you can still go to the school.

What is a computer finger print reader?

A biometric scanner that can either be plugged into the computer via USB ports or built in to the computer as is the case with some laptops. This scanner is used for user identification and authentication, and is considered one of the most secure forms of authentication because there is no way to fake it. There is no password or smart card to give away. The registered user must provide his/her finger or thumb print to gain access.
