Re: Beginner advice needed for VM wireless router setup....
I have that same router and can recommend it. All you have to do is follow the instructions in the box. It's dead easy. Leave cable from outside in the modem. Unplug PC end of ethernet cable from PC and plug into the router, install software that comes with router, switch it all on and run the software which should find and connect to the router. You may (actually I think you WILL) have to connect the router to the laptop with another ethernet cable first time, but then it should be welcome to wireless!
Like I said though, just follow the instructions and you should have no problems. I had no experience with wireless and it was a breeze.
Hope this helps.
Derek.
PS. 1. YES you will be able to connect pc and lappy at the same time as long has they both have wireless cards, obviously.
2. No, you won't need Virgin to enable anything.
