Hi! long time no post and this is a big problem!

Situation:
Recently moved into a house just a few feet away from my previous landladys, here is a 6month short assured lease, so cannot get Virgin or other internet services as i cant predict how long im gonna be living here :-(

Now if I place my laptop on the window sill & stand there with it I can still connect to previous landlady's wireless internet (with her permission of course)

Her wireless router is a 54G Belkin, and I have nearly the same model that I bought to mine, question is, how can I wirelessly connect the routers so I can have internet access at mine going through hers?

My modem has WDS on, but hers dont, and if I set hers to be an access point, she looses her connection.

Surely there's gotta be a better alternative than having to stand the laptop on the window sill to access the net?

Anyone have any idea's please?
