I've been doing some (very basic) research about Software Defined Radio. In my totally newbie opinion, it seems to me that a router with DD-WRT is essentially a Software Defined Radio itself, so I should be able to use it to obtain and manipulate data packets that it receives, even if they are not Wi-Fi signals. Is that true?

Specifically, what I would like to do is to use a router with DD-WRT to scan the signal strength in a wide frequency range, not only the Wi-Fi frequency. I would like to be able to measure the strength of the signal at the frequency ranges: 800MHz ~ 1900 MHz (which by the way are cellular communication frequencies).

I just need signal strength measurements, no need for getting actual data packets.

Is that possible to do? Can anyone point to me resource materials that I could study in order to learn how to do it?
