Not sure a Wireless Access Point will work in this instance. The STB may well be seeing the WAP as the connected device (computer) and cannot see past the WAP to your wireless computer. A WAP does not have any ability to issue IP addresses so in itself doesn't know where to forward information to.

Take the WAP back and get a wireless router.
