  • If it's a recent laptop (< 3 years old), it should already have wireless capability built in, otherwise you'll need a wireless adapter/card for it. Post the make and model if you're not sure.

    If your Virgin broadband is via cable, you need a wireless cable/DSL router and your modem must have an Ethernet port for connecting the router. If it's via phone line, you need a wireless modem router, which replaces your existing modem.

    A good router would cost around £40 and it's very easy to set this up yourself.
