to get access to the other networks you have to have their password, you have to get a modem then a wireless router so you can go anywhere in your house .

I believe its 300 feet, unobstructed and un boosted... but that also depends on what protocol you or they are using. 802.11a/b/g
just remember, if you know their password and gain access... if they are remotely tech savvy, they can see your computer on their network... and also if they are advanced enough of a user, they can take a peek in your computer.
Dont be cheap, just get your own connection and secure it.

Yeah, it's fairly easy to peek at someone's system using some basic commands if the laptop/pc is not secure eg. "\\[ip address]\c$"
Personally, I wouldn't jump on someone's personal wireless connection unless you know the person and or do not have anything of "value" on your system.
