If you do this,
a) You're a hacker (and not in the positive meaning of the word)
b) You're a thief (in the negative meaning of the word)
c) You should know better
To answer the question, there is no easy way to bind three seperate WLAN networks, each from different subnets, into one "fat pipe".

Ok, mephisto that quote just kind of pissed me off. First off someone using someone else's wifi knowingly or not is not a hacker.
per dictionary.com
1) One who is proficient at using or programming a computer; a computer buff.
2) One who uses programming skills to gain illegal access to a computer network or file
Since getting onto an unprotected wifi network is child's play (i.e. grandma could do it) there is no programing involved.
now if the networked was locked down thru wep, and mac filtering.. and still someone got thru it. Then I would consider that person a hacker (if he or she wrote the code to do it on their own.) I'd call them a script kiddie if they downloaded some script from the net to do the work for them.
also there is no 100% effective way to lock down a wifi no matter what anyone says. The only 100% secure network is an ethernet lan with no outside network access.
