There is loads of info on here on how to do it, you just need to have a read. Start with my laymans guide and you won't go far wrong. The guys here will help you out too.

cheers! i'll do that.. pls can you suggest a 'search term' to get me started.. i have a unused sky wireless adsl modem - can i use that at all with V!rgin?

Can you not just get a Wireless router and plug it into your existing modem?

Check out the linksys or Netgear websites for example for details.

That is what I use. The router would have wired connections too for your existing wired compter.

Read my sticky here:

The Layman's guide to flashing Ambit Cable Modems

And go to the download section here: doinit4thelulz.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19

And search this forum for "setting up haxorware".

You should be sorted with that. If you want any more help, just post again!

You will need to get a modem, you cannot use an ADSL modem on VM. I get mine from ebay, I bought some last night, I got em for 8.50 each! Dead cheap. Don't pay the premium to buy it flashed. They sell for double sometimes treble that flashed. At least if you do it yourself, you get the satisfaction of it and you have learned something new along the way!
