How do you send data on a ham radio?

I would like to be able to transmit a signal from my wireless router to a ham radio, so that I can use a transceiver and other WLAN equipment so that I can access my home Internet connection from anywhere. (I don't need to know what I need as far as radio equip, but I need to know how to get the LAN data on the airwaves)
Essentially this is a Wireless router with a really strong attenena.
No idea, but searches on ‘packet radio’, ‘amateur radio 2.4Ghz’ give some ideas. Basically, licensed amateur radio operators can use higher amplifications than off-the-shelf consumer wireless ethernet gear.
Due to FCC regulations, you can’t transmit data over amateur radio (voice) bands. Amateur radio is what you’re referring to as ham radio.
Also, amateur voice communications gear do not have the bandwidth necessary to transmit packet data.
