NTL wireless?

Does anyone know if you can connect a Belkin wireless router to an NTL
broadband modem downstairs,allowing the NTL TV to continue working, while a
laptop is on broadband wirelessly upstairs?
If so a few words of advice would be most helpful...

I know no reason it wouldn't work -- why are you concerned?

Because a friend has asked me to do this for her and I am not sure how to
start. Any help would be appreciated.

Clearly this is easy stuff to you John, but frankly I was hoping for a
little more detail. What sort of wire? What hooks up to what? DoI need a
password or keyword? Stuff like that.
As I am doing it for someone else I do not want to spend the time learning
by trial and error which I wd be happy to do for myself.

Perhaps they should get somebody who knows what they are doing to hook
it up for them.

Each product is different, and you aren't providing much detail. The
Belkin wireless router should have come with instructions -- no? You
read them -- right? Basically the Ethernet cable that I assume now runs
from the NTL modem to a computer will need to be disconnected from the
computer and then plugged into the WAN/Internet port on the router. Use
another Ethernet cable (one may have come with the router) to connect
the computer port to a LAN port on the router. Then use the computer to
configure the router. Be sure to set a unique SSID for the wireless
(e.g., "QuillyNet"), and once you have wireless working, be sure to
enable WPA security with a strong passphrase. (No other security
option, including WEP, has any real value.)

Read the manual for the wireless router.

Thanks John. very helpful. I will be reading the manual when I get to the
house. I am sure I can manage now, but a bit of extra help is always useful.
