Virgin Broadband Wireless router help

[MasterAbacus]

Hi Guys n Gals,

Currently my friend has Virgin Broadband, connecting to a PC via a USB modem. We want to change this to a wireless Router, so a laptop can also be used.

I just happned to have an old Netgear DG834 Router from when i had sky b-band, this I understood was locked so ive reflashed the bios with genuine Netgear 1.02.16.

Before I go in there and attempt setting this up, can anyone see any problems I might have? Any pointers? no experience with Virgin Broadband here.... but surley wont be that hard....lol



Cheers

Is his virgin through cable?
I think your gonna need a Cable router and not an ADSL router. Not my area of expertise tho so someone else might know better.

Something like THIS ?

Sorry guys, i should of been a little clearer with this one.... Thought i had by saying "Virgin Broadband" in my post and no mention of Virgin Cable.....

It was just a standard ADSL Broadband supply from Virgin i was talking about. Anyways, just for a heads up, I flashed the box with the correct Netgear bios, this cleared off all the old Bios inc all sky details.... the Router then bacame a standard router where i could enter the User / Pass of the account required.....and works well.

Thanks for the effort / pointers tho guys...
