So heres the set up I have. My nextdoor neighbor (friend) is letting me use his internet thru my Wifi adaptor he gave me the password.

I'm trying to set it up so that I can send out the signal that my computer has throughout my room so my phone can pick it up. I have a netgear 54mbps wireless router WGR614 v7 that I am trying to do this with. I know you are usually supposed to connect from the wall to a modem to your router but is it possible to do it with the set up I have?
 
not sure what you quite mean but through the PC i believe you can send out a WiFi signal using a tool (not spotify) i think but im not sure

You're right, you don't know.

One option is for you to get a wireless bridge, which is a device that receives the wireless signal and lets you plug in hard wired devices, such as a second router, which you could then use for internet at your house. A second option would be to get a wireless repeater and simply repeat his signal. Many higher end access points have bridge and repeater modes as well.

He does. He wants to take his neighbor's wireless and extend it. The best way to do it is to use an extender/repeater.
