Did a project in networking last year, I do understand most terms etc but I hadn't come across cable networking before :wave:

So he'll need a wireless router if he wanted multiple systems on his connection with a home account! :\| UPP - any wirless router that has a wan point will work with Virgin. Just make sure it's not an ADSL/DSL router and you'll be fine! :thumbs: [Edited on 25-01-2008 by Dom] Not if you NAT to an internal address.

	quote: Originally posted by MikeD you probably want an Wireless Access point you certainly don't want a Wireless Access point - unless he has a switch or a router already. Is it ADSL (modem plugs into the telephone socket) or Cable (you have a cable modem on a coax feed) - if it's the former, you need an wireless ADSL/DSL router, if it's the latter you need a plain wireless Router with an ethernet wan port. by the sounds of it though, she has Cable internet (ie: cable modem, coax feed to modem etc) in which case you want a plain vanilla wireless router, like what Allan posted

	Is it definitely cable through virgin media?

	DSL/ADSL same thing, though ADSL is the right way of saying it... Do Virgin specify that you must use thier router? A lot of ISP's do that and have thier own firmware in the router which logs you on to thier network.

	As above really can someone help me find one? I've been told I need a DSL router and the girlfriends mum went and bought an ADSL wireless router (which won't work) It needs to be wireless and have about 4 ports (For wired communication as well) Thanks guys
