Is it possible to use a wireless router in lieu of a wireless adapter?

[bmacd]

I have an extra Microsoft cable router and was wondering if I can use this in lieu of a wireless adapter to connect to my wifi?

edit: MS MN-500 wireless base station

Look at the DD-WRT site, I think that this Router can be flashed with DD-WRT and be used as a Client.

No, it looks like the MN-500 hasn't been hacked yet, at least by DD-WRT, though the MN-700 has.

For those who are wondering, the MN-500 has completely different hardware than the MN-700, so the instructions provided by the links above work for the MN-700 but not the MN-500. To date, it does not appear a similar hack for the MN-500 has been discovered yet.
