Now that I've slept on it, I realise i forgot the third option: Get a wired only router - you won't need the second ethernet card you've just fitted, but can stil use the WAP.

Your network setup would then be:

ntl modem <> ethernet cable <> wired router

wired router port #1 <> ethernet cable <> main PC (using exisitng ethernet connection)

wired router port #2 <> ethernet cable <> Wireless Access Point

Wireless Access Point ~~ wireless ~~ laptop

You may still have issues with getting the WAP setup - needing to get teh Belkin AP manager utliity run. That will be a case of "read the manual".
