Haaa its making sense now
Apologies i completely forgot about leaving the set top box on as i never turn the dam thing off lol..
Okay what is a Cable Compatible Router?
Could i purchase a ADSL ROUTER and disable the ADSL ?
Just cutting courners with that idea, and wanting to keep my opitons open with ISP Providers you see.
If i have to pay say £70 - £90 for a Virgin (Set topbox) compatable router its a bit of a waste really? I would like to be able to use that router with another service too.
But if i cant i cant,
Sorry i go off on thoughts easily lol
1. What Router would i need to purchase (Examples)
2. Where would i get the settings from to set it up?
Thanks for sticking with me on this one,
but i'm sure it will help others too

homealone : I dont know if i need a Router or not, these are the questions i'm trying to get answers to. And if so what type.

And I want it like sky has as there broad band set up
SIGNAL >>> ROUTER >>> WIRLESS
How and what do i need, that's all ive been asking from the start. As i'm not sure.
Now as ROB suggested :
SIGNAL >>> SET TOP BOX >>> ROUTER
What type do i need? (To look up online)
And where do i get the settings from?
