Wireless Router problem
8 Answers
Hi
I have recently purchased a laptop and hoped to use my virgin media broadband for this via a router.
I can't get the router to connect to the internet, the problem is I think that my modem only works with a usb connection to my pc.
The router uses ethernet connection but when I brought an ethernet lead my pc couldn't connect to the internet (when used normally without router).
Do I need a new modem or can I purchase a router that works with a usb connection?
I hope this makes sense I'm a bit of a novice to all things technical.
Thank you

Sorry I don't know how to reply to your reply properly!
I have cable broadband, I use windows xp.
Although my moden has an ethernet connection, this does not appear to work when I attach it to my pc. My modem attaches to my pc with a usb cable and this works.
I bought a belkin router which only has an ethernet connection.
I hope this helps Ethel and thanks for your speedy reply.
