How do you connect your router to an existing network if I have say an open network and I want my own private off shoot How do I make a WIFI network using an existing network wirelessly?

You have couple of choices. First is to connect your router to existing network using a cable. And then configure secured wireless network using your router settings. Second is to connect using Bridge configuration. You might run in problems with Bridge due to compatibility issues. You even will have change firmware to DD-WRT (if your router is compatible). Once you set Bridge then you go to router settings and configure secured wireless. And here you might run in problems too because you are basically extending non-secured network in a secured. A lot of routers will not allow you to do that.
