Can I feed my single incoming public WiFi connection into my existing router/switch, so it can be shared?

I'll shortly be moving to a new house, where I think I can pick up a public WiFi connection with a wireless adapter and hi-gain antenna (p/n HAI15SC), or with a single Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter (p/n HWU8DD) (both from Hawking).

Being a cheapskate, I don't want to buy two sets of adapters, as both require the Â£30+ hi-gain antenna.
