Wireless - Virgin Media

Computertec

Hi, I'm with Virgin Media and I really need help.
I would like to go wireless, and I have found a adsl wireless modem that i like (NETGEAR ADSL WIRELESS MODEM ROUTER). Virgin are selling it for £40! I was wondering if anyone has contacted Virgin and threatened to cancel, and Got the Netgear free or half price?
Thanks

Computertec

Yes they do
They support adsl & cable wireless
Thanks c_ronaldo, i'll try it

I really think Virgin should give them away for cheaper price

If you are on cable then all you need is a wireless router, as you already have the cable modem.
Something like this http://www.netgear.co.uk/pdfs/WGR614.pdf

If u have virgin, how can u be on adsl? do u have a bt line?
if a bt line then adsl, otherwise it would be cable

The one I use is Linksys WRT54G (router for cable modems) with superbooster. Excellent and I recommend this. Friends who have got this are very happy with it.
Another plus point is their helpdesk. I used live chat and they responded within a minute. Within 5 mins, my problem was solved (mac address had changed so router didnt work - nothing hardware wise)
