I have signed up to NTL broadband and I would like to share the internet connection using a wireless router.

A friend gave me a BT Voyager cable/dsl 1500 wireless router will this be compatiable??

Could you give me some advice on how do set this up. Do I need to have a cross-over cat5 cable to connect cable modem to router or will a standard striaght cable do. Is there anything I should look out for???

I have setup adsl routers in the past however this is my first time working with cable.

I haven't connected the cable modem to my laptop yet I want to just install router straight away if possible!!!
