With Cable Broadband, you have to use the Virgin Media supplied modem. The modem then connects via ethernet to the router WAN port. Hence you must ensure your router does not include it's own modem.

Routers with inbuilt modems are available for ADSL (BT type phone) systems only. Cable and ADSL work a little differently, hence the router setup differences.
