    Is it possible to view and access other wireless networks with a Wireless Router? I've got a Linksys WRT54G and a Belkin of some kind.

    Curious.

    it should be. if you run a network cable from your computer to one router, then turn off DHCP on that router, you should be able to bridge them assuming you're running the same channel.

    Yes - although it may require a custom firmware installation (like Sveasoft).
