UPC wired to a NETGEAR router

    Hi,

    I'm with UPC and am trying to extend my WiFi upstairs. To give you an idea of what's happening: I have a ethernet cable connecting my Upc box downstairs to a NETGEAR router upstairs and an ethernet cable from the NETGEAR router to a Mac. This WORKS! The Mac has an ethernet connection running at full speed.

    I have a laptop and a tower PC upstairs too, and while I may yet go out and buy couple of ethernet wires for those, I want to connect them to the NETGEAR's WiFi. Right now these two machines will only connect (very dodgy) to the UPC boxes WiFi from downstairs. Strangely enough the NETGEAR router doesn't show up on available WiFi connections, and the signal strength from the UPC box isn't any better in-case I could still connect to the UPC box, but through this NETGEAR router.

    Does anyone have any insight as to what I have to do in order for the NETGEAR router to start transmitting the UPC wireless? I'm just a bit stumped because ethernet works through it fine so it IS working.

    Thanks in advance!
