Then what you need is something like this

That connects to the cable modem you picture above, you can then connect over wireless or using an ethernet cable

Be sure to post a picture (of the router, that is)

Give VM a call and ask them about giving you a wireless router. This connects into the etherenet socket on the modem and from the back of the router you'll have 4 sockets to connect up to 4 computers and of course the wireless connectivity.

PS, If they try to charge you for the router, tell them your thinking of leaving their service. They'll soon chuck one your way.

I looked today and she has a wireless router with 4 sockets plugged into the broadband modem. She's just got to find the CD that came with the router.

We have a Belkin54g wireless router, a 20Mb Virgin Broadband & a house full of laptops!!

When everyone(can be up to 4 laptops/smart phones) are on-line it works fine. But you can be streaming a telly programme with only one laptop in use & the Router or network or something goes down!! The only way to re-establish the service is by turning off the Router & then back on again(re-boot it).

Is the Router too small?? Is there a problem with the Virgin Broadband??

Thanks for your help.

You should ask Virgin to test your equipment at their end.
