:welcome: to the forum!

Woahhhhhhhhhhh 10Gb broadband!!!!!!!!! :Yikes:

I think you mean 10Mb... ;)

The Linksys WRT54G should work great! :)

thanks Nikesh now you no why the 54 and 108 confused me 10gb indeed

Re: virgin media 10gb broadband
 

108.11 (a, b, g) are all just the name of the "standard" used (tells the techies the speed and range, but doesn't mean much to real people ;)) but the 54 part is the top speed that it's supposed to achieve (in MBits).

The Linksys WRT54G is a 108.11g 54MBit router so will work fine, as the incoming cable modem speed is only 10MBit.

Hope that helps.

Sorry for the delay in replying yes that does sort it out.At this moment in time I am on bt broadband with .512kbs speed and live to far from the exchange for a faster speed ,On Tuesday 6th March cable is being installed by virgin media hence the confusion with all these massive download speeds

Re: virgin media 10gb broadband
 

Isn't it 802.11x ?

Re: virgin media 10gb broadband
 

Um... No. 108.11g is 54MBit. Not sure there's such a thing as 108.11x... Or rather, I've never heard of it.

Re: virgin media 10gb broadband
 

x being substituted for any letter, such as b, g or n. And the IEEE standard for wireless LAN is 802.11, not 108.11

Re: virgin media 10gb broadband
 

Oh I'm with you now. Yes, my mistake. Not sure why I'd put 108.11 lol. Sorry about that. It's been a while since I got rid of my wireless network.
