Oups! Sorry about that! David was right. Hooked means connected wirelessly in this context. Just to be more specific, if your Netgear is configured to act as a gateway, meaning that when a computer on your network makes a request, the requests goes to the Netgear, which then resend the request through your cable modem. When the response for that request comes from the Internet, the Netgear is able to route the response to the computer on your network where the request did originate. I'm pretty sure that your Netgear is able to do that and it's probably already doing this. Now, if your AirPort Base Station is also configured to distribute IP addresses, or, in other words, act as a gateway, there might be some problems. So, just to be sure, launch the AirPort Admin Utility. Select configure your base station. Click on the "Network" tab to make it active. Then, make sure that the "Distribute IP addresses" is NOT checked. Save the configuration and wait for the base station to restart. You then have to configure your Pismo to use AirPort but you'll configure the network settings like if you were connecting it to your router with a cable. I would bet that your router is acting as the DHCP server on your network, meaning that every time a computer wants to communicate to another computer on your network or wants to access the internet, your router will give it an IP address. So, you should configure your network settings in your Pismo to use DHCP, save your configuration and that's it! It should just work. Try this and let us know how it goes.
