    Hey all,
    I have an extra Netgear WGR614 v7 wireless router kicking around that I would like to use as a wireless adapter for my desktop. Is there a way that I can hook this up to my desktop and have it act just like a PCI adapter would. In another words I want it to see any and all wifi networks in the area. Is this doable?

    Nope, you need a Router that can be configured as a client.

    Very few Wireless Routers can be configured as clients the Netgear WGR614 v7 is not among them.
