I suggest you go here:

Download the quickstart guide and follow the instructions. You will need an ethernet cable for the initial setup.

Not sure who advised you of this, but you will still need to use the Virgin modem, you will need to plug the wireless router into it.

and it's also necessary to have the modem connected when you run router setup as the 'wizard' will try to check your broadband connection type and make the appropriate settings.

What exactly have you done?

Basic steps:
Turn off PC
Turn off Virgin Modem
Unplug PC from Modem
Plug Router into Modem
Switch Virgin modem on
Switch router on
Switch PC
Use the wireless software on your laptop to setup the connection and security.
