    We've currently got phone and broadband via a btphone using a modem.
    Can I ask a few questions please :

    I'm I right in saying that you need a ADSL router for a phoneline to make it wireless ? if you have ADSL then you need a router that is compatible with ADSL and is wireless

    How straight forward is it to set up ? Well going by my experience of setting a router up on cable its easy as pie, read my explanation of what i did to set mine up, im on cable so it could be different for you but i cant imagine it being so

    I was thinkin of switching to BT for phone and Broadband as they keep phoning saying I could get a wireless hub and calls and broadband for an extra tenner a month - do Virgin have a wireless hub for phonelines and if so if I threaten to leave do you think that they would give me one for nothing ?

    re the wireless hub for adsl VM im not sure, you could ask them though,

    If I go wireless, does this mean that I can connect the wii to the internet - probably a really daft question? Yes you can but it can depend on how strong a signal is from the wii's point of view or if theres no thick walls between the wii and the router(where you would locate it). There might be other settings you would have to change to get the wii wireless but thats for another time so dont worry about it.

    Sorry for all the questions .

    tried to answer what i can for you
