I have a Belkin54g wireless router. The network I want to connect it to is 4 already existing linksys WRT54GS/access points.
Now, I have no wires to connect them to, nor is the router hooked up to the internet directly to bridge properly… I think…
I suppose what I am asking is: Can the belkin54g wireless router draw the network’s signal (which any wireless-b/g router freely can) and connect it to the network (which is accessing the internet) and allow incoming wireless or wired connections to it that wish to access the network through it?
I imagine there may be some serious settings to make, I have the Mac address of all routers, dns, gateway, dhcp, and whatnot so I could use some pointers on what to do here…
Thanks for all your help.

You should NEVER use more than one router on a connection unless you absolutely need to subnet the machines. A router is never useful for bridging. you should be using one router and the rest of the wireless must be access points, or wireless range extenders.
