Wirelless Bridge question

[rhodell]

Hello to all.
I moved to NYC recently and the room I am renting has wireless internet signal through a router to which I have NO access to.
I assume is in some room on a different appartment of the building, I was just been provided with the networks ID and Pass to get my laptop online and it worked.
HOWEVER I did have my own little network prior to my move which included a desktop PC with no wireless card. That means it needs a cable hard-connected to a router which however as I mentioned is in a different floor all together.
From previous networking setups I do own the following two routers:
1. Linksys WRT54G Ver.6
2. Verizon ActionTec MI424-WR Rev.D

I keep coming across google results on how to make a bridge from one router or the other but I am not that savvy PLUS I don't know if those suggestions apply to my case.
REMEMBER: I do NOT and will NOT have access to the main router which I believe is a Linksys E2000 (after 192.168.1.1 with my laptop).
I need to know if any of my existing routers can receive the main signal wirelessly and then distribute it to both my laptop (with a cable that is, don't ask why) AND to my Desktop PC (cable would be the only option for this machine).

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to flash your WRT54G v6 with DD-WRT firmware. Its a little tricky so be careful. But once flashed, it can be configured to be a wireless bridge and work as you intend it to.
