You have to use the Virgin Supplied modem to have cable broadband. From there you can on your customer side of the modem connect whatever device you like, but if you need muliple devices, access points or similar, you will need a router or other device that can provide DHCP and stuff. The modem can only "speak" to a single device i.e allocate a single IP address and won't see anything else. Thus the DHCP device / router is required.
