Xbox Live - Wirless Router?

Question

Alright, I just bought an Xbox and wanted to get Xbox live. The problem is that my modem is downstairs while my Xbox is upstairs. Right now I have a wireless router connected to my modem for my laptop. I'm using an older router I had laying around for my Xbox. I have the Ethernet cord running from the internet jack on the xbox to the top jack on my router (sorry, I'm not a computer guy at all so I don't know all the lingo and such). I'm looking at the lights on the router right now and the wireless light is on, so I'm guessing that means it's getting a signal, but when I test my Xbox Live connection it says Network Adapter is wired, but the IP Address failed. What am I doing wrong?

Here's what the back of the upstairs router says:

Netgear 54 Mbps Wirless Router. 

I'm not sure if that helps or not. 

Sorry for the lengthy question and thanks in advance.
