Hi i have a Netgear 108Mbps Wireless Firewall Router Model No. WGT624 v2 and i will soon be purchasing a wireless usb network adapter for my laptop the question i have is i want to set up a wireless network my Desktop PC is upstairs connected to a stb downstairs this is a Samsung on NTL broadband can someone please give me an idea how to set it all up step by step as i am totally baffled by all the jargon the PC is connected to the STB via a ethernet connection.Many Thanks

only thing with the STB is that you need to clone the mac address of your main pc thats connected to it via the router, after that you'll have an internet connection

I did pretty much what you're about to do, but it's a while ago!
I have the WGT624v3.
As far as I can remember:-
switch the lot off, STB as well.
put the router in line, ie connected to STB via cable to the "internet" socket.
connect a pc wired to the router.
STB on and settled, router on and settled, pc on.
I think the pc goes to the NTL reg page when you open Iinternet explorer, as far as I can remember, here you need your original PID number and password(that NTL gave you on day one) to register the new device with the STB.
That should have the wired pc connected to the net via the router, hopefully.
Next bit is to switch on the wireless security in the router, pretty good instructions in the pack and online at netgear.
I reckon then you should be able to get the laptop to find the wireless connection.
Hope this helps, may not be spot on but it's as much as I recall!
Good luck!
