Looking at getting a modem & router or maybe just the router! Need some advice!

At the moment the home internet is a 2mb cable line from Virgin Media. I have been looking for a modem/router or just the router on its own that has an easy set up. Came across the N1 Vision Wireless Modem Router (http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/pro...2uk4A&scid=314) But when i looked at its user manual and found the pic of the connection on the back, there was nowhere to connect the cable to. At the moment the broadband cable screws into the back of the old ntl modem we have (ntl home 100 - i think) So my question is this- is there another version of the N1 Vision that allows me to screw the broadband cable in?

Or would it just be better to get router?


This will be used to connect my pc that is two floors above where the router will sit.

Hey mate

You can not replace the modem on Virgin - and there is no need to either. Using a different modem is a violation of their T&C's. Cable modems and ADSL modems are two very different bits of kit

As for the router - one of the best all rounders and very powerful is the WRT54GL. Have a search in this forum for "WRT54" and see what I mean. Top router, quite cheap and highly recommended for cable
