Just installed the router. It's fully awesome and video streaming on the net is much improved so I guess the old wired Edimax was getting on a bit. | |

Depending on package or if you are new you should be able to get a free netgear router. I use netgear and I have no issues with dropping out. | |

Deano - 'I guess I literally need something which acts as a wireless switch with 4 ethernet ports', no you need a wireless router with a 4 port switch attached. Any cable router (has an ethernet WAN port) will be fine. I can't say i was thrilled with the netgear we had but never had too many issues with it apart from needing the odd reboot once in a while. | |

What would be the name of the wireless router I need then if I didn't want to bin the Virgin Modem? I guess I literally need something which acts as a wireless switch with 4 ethernet ports. | |

I've got a netgear that's ran with no problems for months, look after maybe 30 of them, again no problems. | |

I remember the misses had a wireless Netgear which we got off Amazon. It kept timing out and dropping signal. I phone Amazon returns and refunded the money then didn't even want the router back. But I then read every review and 95% were experiencing the same problems. | |

Draytek's are double or triple the price of a dlink/netgear. | |

If you're a new customer then you're entitled to a free router from VM, which tends to be a Netgear jobby with locked firmware (so official netgear updates are out of the question). Although i hear they are starting to dish out combined router and modems by Cisco (i think). Otherwise it's about £50 i think. | |

Tbf, any wireless router would be fine for what you're wanting. | |

Both my laptop, phone and now dad's laptop is wireless. However the 2 PC's are wired in the house. Edimax broadband router & Virgin Media modem. |
