So, a bit of a weird question I'll say that now, mostly just a theory but I would like to try it if possible. Here goes. There is a Starbucks about 1.5 to 2 miles away from where I live, and considering how this location like the rest offer free and unlimited Wi-Fi for in store customers, is there any possibility of me installing a Point-to-Point Wireless Network Bridge transmitter from the top of the Starbucks location and have it pointed to the receiver on the roof of my house? Obviously this a question about whether I can get free Starbucks Wi-Fi nearly 2 miles away from a Starbucks location in the comfort of my own home. But what would be the obstacles to this if any? I already know of the fact that the distance between my house and the Starbucks is littered with large trees and houses, but there are some network bridge kits that advertise being able to pass a wireless connection through these obstacles while maintaining download speeds of nearly 150-300 Mbps (which for my location and personal needs is more than enough in terms of throughput). That isn't the only issue I've come across, the others being my devices at home being noticed by the network technicians at the Starbucks location and the ISP for that area as well. I can mitigate that to some degree with device obfuscation, and with the fact that they probably don't keep tabs on their network that much because it's free internet provided by Google Fi. I do have plenty of security measures for being on public Wi-Fi with my personal home devices. There is also the possibility of the bridge kit NOT being Point-to-Point and instead broadcasting a high-powered Wi-Fi signal to everyone in between the transmitter and receiver and destroying the connection speed, however I don't expect that to be the case with how I've seen this technology work. There is also the possibility that I could be arrested lol. Again any input on this is appreciated, I know this seems like a weird question to ask on this forum but the community here is always so open to different ideas I figured I would get the best feedback from here. Thanks.
