No matter how I word this question I know I will sound like a noob so please forgive me in advance.

I was wondering if a wireless router would be capable of being used as a wireless receiver aka a wifi card?

I have an old Linksys router , if I connect that router to my PC via ethernet cable will I be able to pick up wifi access points?

Thank you for any replies

depends on the router. What you're trying to do is called "wireless bridging". Google if you router is capable of this. Possibly a third party firmware (dd-wrt, tomato, ...) can enable this functionality

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
