Netgear Router just not working

Hey all,
First post so im hoping im following forum rules and stuff right

Basically i've got a friend who I was asked to set up his wireless network for.

He uses cable (Virgin Media). Theres a few problems im having.

I've installed the wireless receiver usb stick and it picks up the network, and I logon to 192.168.1.1 and enter what I beleive are the correct settings.

Before this, for the computer to get a connection it took this route..

cable box thing > a small box with a port for a ethernet cable and usb > the usb cable goes to the PC.

The router takes this connection..

cable box thing > the small box > the port for the ethernet cable goes into the router

There is a wireless receiver in the computer, it picks up the network.

However the laptop finds the network, connects to it successfully, however it cant get online on the internet. It doesnt seen to realise the wireless network has internet access?

Another problem is that theres like 4 connections when you go in My Network Places on the PC, it should only be the one?

Thanks very much
