Hi

!

I would describe myself as being fairly good with computers however after trying to set up a friends wireless network i'm starting to think otherwise!

Basically, my friend has recently acquired broadband with NTL and has asked me to wirelessly route the signal via a Set Top Box to his PC upstairs. So i bought a Netgear WGR614 router and a Netgear WG111 USB receiver and thought it would be a relatively simple process of simply connecting the router via an ethernet cable to the STB, and the going upstairs and connecting to the network. However, the receiver is picking up a neighbour's network but it is not finding the one downstairs in the front room. Is there anything that i'm not doing correctly in order to connect?

A step-by-step guide would be extremely appreciated! Thanks!
