Hi, I need a bit of advice please. I have a Netgear DG834GT Wireless Modem Router (currently connected via phone socket to Sky Broadband) and I've recently had Virgin Cable installed and now have a Cable Modem. Basically I want to connect the 2 so that I can use my Virgin broadband wirelessly as I currently do with Sky.
I know how to log in to the router to adjust the settings etc. I've got the cable modem connected to socket 1 on the router, but I'm not sure if I need some kind of adapter or if I just need to change some settings.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

I'm afraid you can't use that router with a Virgin Media cable modem. Your router is designed with a built in modem to convert the signal coming down the t/p line. The VM modem cannot be connected to it.
You will need something from this selection or another retailer.

I suspect it would be slower as current router is 108mbps and that one is 54mbps, is that correct? In which case would go for the Buffalo AirStation 125mbps.

It would work but this one would be a whole lot better as it conforms to the latest Wireless-N standard. It's also got better customer reviews than the one you found.

Can it not connect via ethernet? you will lose the use of one port on each device for the connection cable.
