Receive internet wirelessly, want to connect it to Vonage router

Hello, my first post here. Didn't find a related topic after searching.

I receive internet on my MacBook via t-moble.starbucks.com wireless service because there is a Starbucks providing the service about 50 feet outside my window. Thus I don't have any kind of wired internet receiver/router inside my apartment that I could connect to my Vonage router. I want to know if it is possible to somehow connect this wireless internet service to my Vonage LinkSys router so that I can use my Vonage service. Is there a way to receive the internet onto my MacBook wireless receiver, then send it via cable to the router? I tried to just do it without configuring anything but that did not work. I will also have a PC with a wireless adapter (USB pen style) in which I could try this as well if anyone knows how I can make it work.

I have an AirPort router, but I'm not able to use that to receive the internet either... seems like it is set up to receive via cable only and transmit wirelessly only. If I could make it go backwards, I could use it to get an internet connection to the Vonage router.

Any ideas? Thanks,
Steve
 
To my knowledge you have to have a wired router to hookup vonage with. I highly doubt you can wireless transmit the signal and get phone service. It would make it to easy to steal service
 
Yes - I do need to get an ethernet cable with broadband connectivity into my Vonage router.

My question is how do I convert a wireless broadband signal into wired (or is it even possible)?

Desire is to receive wireless broadband signal --> convert it to broadband on an ethernet cable --> plug that into Vonage router --> success.
