    I don't think the other router will pick up the signal from the upc router, it would need a cable to be linked.

    You would get one like this below for about €15.

    Actually, if his router can operate as a wireless client, I imagine it would connect to his current UPC router, and serve the connection out via it's wired ports.

    I've done something similar with an old router once to get my TV connected to the internet.
