Can I check a few things first. You say you have VM - is that cable or a telephone connection? What's the model number of your router?

Right, so your VM Modem is connected to the router via ethernet cable. Your PC and/or laptops should then be connected to the router either via ethernet cable or wireless. Can you tell me which ones are connected by cable and which by wireless.
