Depends how complex the old router is, either set up the wireless and disable DHCP on the old router so the new router gives out a DHCP address and everything will be OK - or disable DHCP on the new router and enable it on the old router, setting the default gateway to the IP of the new router.

Haven't got a clue, it's not with me at the moment.
From the guides I found, I turn of DHCP on the old router, set it to a static IP, connect it with ethernet to the new router, then I can access it on the network, but that's no help to me at all really.

I assume that's what you're on about then? I'll have a look at make/model numbers next time i'm round there

Can you flash it with DD_WRT?

Basically my gran got roped into Talk talk TV, a youview box. Which apparently for some reason doesn't have wireless built in. They suggest homepage. But before spending money on that.
Is it possible to use the old router as a wireless access point and have that under the TV. So old router wireless connects to new one then TV box is wired onto that. I can only seem to find solutions that mean the old router has to be wired to the new one which is useless
