Newbie trying to setup wired/wireless network

Hi apologies if there is a similar post already in the forums.Have just changed provider from Xnet to Telecom and received a new wireless router (TG582n). Thought I would take the opportunity to 'extend' my existing network.Plugged in to the phone line is a Netgear (DGN2200) Wireless on and 1 port connected to Apple TV.Transfer to Telecom happened on Saturday - I didnt make any changes to the Netgear - and all seemed good.Yesterday, I ran an ethernet cable from the Netgear router (under house) to the TG582n in another room next to the computer. TG582n plugged into the computer - all OK, excellent I thought.I then changed the Wireless settings on the TG582n to match those on the Netgear (except channel - Netgear = 11, TG582n = 10) - so I would have the same wireless network throughout the house. Last night I thought it was working.This morning couldnt connect to the wireless network, was greeted with the Telecom splash page, the ethernet connection to the PC was working and I had internet access.Probably a rookie mistake! Would welcome a fix for the wireless network or description of the correct way to set this network up?Many Thanks
