wifi and ethernet on virgin media

bagboy_2

Hi is it possible to connect my pc via an ethernet cable and also connect my laptop/wii/mobile phone using wifi at the same time on virgin media ?
my modem has only one cable socket which I either plug into my pc or wifi, is there a way to connect both at the same time ?
thanks

does your wireless router have ethernet outlets as well as wireless capability ? If so then yes ou should be able to do both.

Only one connection for ethernet cable is a little unusual normally they have 4 at least.
What is the make and model of the modem you have and are you adsl or cable? then will be better placed to answer query

you will of course need another ethernet cable

Hi, think I might of sorted it out, I'm on virgin cable, I have an ethernet cable from my modem to my wifi (tp-link), there are 4 outlets in the back of that so i'm going to plug an ethernet from there into my pc and then try out the wifi.
can I plug more than one ethernet cable in the back of the wifi so I can use 2 pc's ?
I have just been running an ethernet from the modem to my pc but now need to use the wifi as well,
thanks

If you're on Virgin Cable you'll have a modem with one ethernet connection. You then connect that via ethernet to a wireless router (sounds like that is what your tp-link is). That will then give you WiFi capabaility and normally four thernet ports. You can connect a PC to each of those ethernet ports and other devices by WiFi without any problem.
