Thx mate, I am connecting it thorugh teh virgin cable modem

Funny thing is, i already purchased teh router of amazon, and asked if it is compatible after :confused:

A second question, Does it have any problems with windows vista?
I don;y think there should be any issues as my 2 older routers work but still ???

I didn't think any modems could have more than 1 port. That's what routers and switches are for, surely?

I think your right but what if you got a modem and router in one surely you got one port for the modem and a few more for the router
