Belkin N+ Wireless Router---- What Modem?

[raptorrex]

Virgin always provide a modem. you cant get one, that works, from anyone else.

thats BS
I am with virgin and I use my belkin router modem.
all you need is your user name and password from virgin

no m8, that's BS. the only modem that will work with a virgin cable, connection. is the one virgin send you. unless you buy a "chipped" unit.
incidentally there is no such thing as a virgin BB password. its a simple "alwasy on" connection after the modem they send you is registered.

though, virgin may offer ASDL connections in regions they haven on cable network. but they will tell you, you are not on a cable network.

here is a list of the only modems that work with a virgin "cable" connection (even so it must be provided by virgin, as the site says. you cannot buy your own). reading through the rest of the site, will confirm my comments.

if you are on the virgin adsl yes a router/modem will work but not if you are on cable

I'm really surprised you never got a virgin modem with the install. If I remember rightly though they are sometimes sent after the install, so maybe it'll turn up in a few days if you've just had the install guys round recently...otherwise give virgin a ring. So does the cable that virgin put in, have nothing on the end of it,....simply a cable with a silver type connection on the end or does it plus into a blue or silver box (colour may differ)?
Buying a router for your virgin line is pretty simple, the only thing you need to take note of it whether the router is for ADSL or Cable, you need a cable one. If you search amazon for 'cable router' that should make life even simpler for you. However, even with the cable router if you don't have the modem from Virgin you won't get online.
