Hello, this is my first post. I did not find a related topic after using the search function.

I receive internet on my MacBook via t-moble.starbucks.com wireless service because there is a Starbucks providing the service about 50 feet outside my window. I want to know if it is possible to somehow connect this internet service to my Vonage LinkSys router so that I can use my Vonage service. Is there a way to receive the internet onto my MacBook wireless receiver, then send it via cable to the router? I tried to just do it without configuring anything but that did not work.

I have an AirPort router, but I'm not able to use that to receive the internet either... seems like it is set up to receive via cable only and transmit wirelessly only. If I could make it go backwards, I could use it to get an internet connection to the Vonage router.

Any ideas? Thanks,
Steve
