Adding a second wireless router to a network - please help

Hi,I am trying to add a second wireless router to my network to help boost the coverage of my wifi to the bottle level of my house (the Orcon Genius router I have is on the top 3rd floor).The issue I am experiencing is that wifi on the second router is up and down all the time therefore a stable connection is impossible. It is cabled in via ethernet from the Orcon on the third floor. I also have an Xbox 360 in the same place as the second router (attached via cable) which acts as a media center extender, and I have zero problems with this connection so the wired connection from upstairs is solid.The issue must be pointing to a wrong setting on the second router?The second router I am using is a Netgear DGND3700, and I have set it up following the instructions at this link: http://www.labnol.org/software/add-router-to-wireless-network/The only thing I couldn't do was the part in step 5 which said "go to Setup - > Advanced routing and change the current mode from Gateway to Router", as I could not find this setting on the Netgear. Maybe this is the reason the wifi on it is flaky? I just don't know enough to determine this.Could there be anything obvious I've missed? Does this sound like a common issue?Cheers.
