    Question Virgin Media 20MB Wireless Router

    I need a wireless router to use with my Virgin 'It says its 20MB But Is It Buggery' service. It must be compatible with the XBox 360, PS3 and Wii. Not bothered about the price.

    Anybody have any suggestions?

    WRT54 range. This seems to be coming up a few times a week at the moment

    Get a Linux based one, wack the Tomato/DD-WRT firmware on it and you have a very fast, stable router with plenty of features

    I have used a WRT54 G for 4 years now with Telewest / VM and its been top notch. Shame about the ISP really.

    Re: Virgin Media 20MB Wireless Router

    Im using a WGT624 V3 router(netgear) which is very stable/reliable. I did have an older version for about 5+years (it was a refurb) but the wireless died on it, cable was super though so only a minor issue. Managed to get this newer router for £35 from pcworld due to the belkin router being crappy and not liking cable(disconnect after 5mins) but loving wireless, i tried 3 of them all with the same issue so gave up and was offer that at a discount from something like £90 to £35. range on the wireless is great, its around 3 or 4 walls away from my room and yet my laptop gets a second to best signal quality.

    At the moment Virgin seem to have a deal for new customers for a router so it might be worth contacting them to see if you can get a deal on one of there routers which are netgear wgt624v

    Question Re: Virgin Media 20MB Wireless Router

    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142702

    Will that work with my Virgin broadband? It looks decent enough.

    I'm never sure if I'm cable or ADSL.

    I'm pretty sure I'm cable though?

    Granted, it looks nicer, but does it do anything that the cheaper WRT Linux range?

    nope, nothing different.

    Like I said I use a WRT with a netgear 8 port 10/100/1000 switch and it does all I need.
