Adding router as access point

    Ok, so here goes, I've got a cable broadband into the house downstairs, into the modem which is connected into a wireless router. I have a spare router which i would like to use as an access point so i can use my xbox upstairs.

    I've been searching the net but am getting more confused i think! Should i use the router as an access point or set up wireless bridging?

    Here's the setup at the moment:
    Cable modem===Wireless Router
    Laptops


    New Setup if possible:
    Cable modem===Wireless Router
    Laptops And Access point===Xbox360

    Wired is === Wireless is ----

    Cable modem: Ntl 250
    Wireless router:Speedtouch 716wl
    Router to use as access point: Belkin Wireless G F5D7230-4

    Hope someone can give me a few pointers as I am not getting anywhere with it myself.
