Is there a device that would let me use free WiFi from McDonald's while I'm at home?

Let's say McDonald's is about 2 miles from me and I want to use their free WiFi, is there a range extender I can use so I can access McDonald's free WiFi from my home?

Probably not, but possibly. You gotta be an optimist, I say. Get the very best USB wireless adapter you can possibly afford and construct the most gigantic and quality antenna you possibly can. Try it out and report back with pictures and results.

Wrong. That's not even close to the grandiosity or scale of what I was envisioning in my head.

Does it exist or not? Is it for sale or not? You guys saying other than tethering, home internet just is not free.

It sounds like it does exist, but you will have to build the high-gain antenna. :shrug:

If you have some space in the yard, then you could go the way of the radio astronomer and rig one of the old 4 foot tv satellite  dishes to receive/transmit at whatever frequency band you want. At that point, an ultra low noise amplifier combined with a high collection area and highly directional antenna would give you several miles of range (make sure to look up FCC law on transmission power at the band you are transmitting on), but the build cost may pay for several months of high speed Internet anyway...so it's really up to you as to how ridiculous you wanna get for free wifi.
