which router for ISP?

Hi

In my last place i had NTL and got a wireless router that was compatible.

Can't remember the name off hand but just signed up with Virgin Bundle 2 and was wondering if this would be compatible as i remember there being 2 types when i went to get the other one.

Ps - I know the one i've got isn't Netgear!!!

Cheers

NTL offers a cable-based service and it's modems would not be compatible with Virgin which uses ADSL technology.

If the device is simply a wireless router without a built-in modem, this can be connected to either a cable or ADSL modem and will work fine.

The Belkin F5D7230UK4 which you mention is a router which you connect either to a cable or ADSL modem.

In your case, you need to either buy an ADSL modem which you connect to your BT line and connect the router to it, or buy a combined ADSL modem and router like this.

Today, modems without routers are less common so this may be your best option.

you need an adsl router,

if you need wireless.

and you need to encrypt it.
