newbie question: wireless router on a local network

hello all,
being new to wireless networking, I bought the wrong router :-)
I now own a DLINK DI524-UP wireless router that I can't hook onto my USB Speedtouch Modem.
The idea was to keep using the ADSL modem for the main pc, and only when the laptop is being used in our home, to connect the wireless router, and extend the internet connection from the pc to the laptop through the wireless router...
schematically this would give:
ADSL --> USB speedtouch --> main pc (that is very often connected, and that I don't want to expose to even remote security problems that come with wireless internet) --> ethernet cable --> conventional router (also used for other pcs in our home) --> ethernet cable --> wireless router --> wireless --> laptop.
I am able to find the wireless router from my laptop, but I can't figure out the settings in order to share the internet from the pc with the wireless.
is there a way of avoiding having to buy another modem?
greetings, D.
