Hi.. you may want to first find out if Roadrunner allows that kind of service sharing. It's unlikely that they do.



EDIT-

this is from the users agreement..

5. Subscriber Conduct.

(a) The ISP Service as offered and provided under this Agreement is a residential service offered for personal, non-commercial use only. Subscriber will not resell or redistribute (whether for a fee or otherwise) the ISP Service, or any portion thereof, or otherwise charge others to use the ISP Service, or any portion thereof. Subscriber agrees not to use the ISP Service for operation as an internet service provider, for the hosting of websites (other than as expressly permitted as part of the ISP Service) or for any enterprise purpose whether or not the enterprise is directed toward making a profit.



So it appears that sharing your connection isn't allowed.

that... and most of these routers do not have the kinda of range to get between houses

Thank you for letting me know that it is not allowed. Now I have gotten a road runner service in my house, and in near future I will make it wireless. When I will do that then I might need help in setting it up.

No problem :) Wireless setup is usually pretty straight forward. The main concern is making sure it's secure and that can be done pretty easily too.
