Cable Forum - View Single Post - Matching cable modem and Linksys WAG54GS router-cant get them to work together? Help!

Virgin Media have just installed DSL at a new flat for me and provided me with a modem with 3 connections -

1 Power
2 Cable
3 Ethernet

From my last house I've brought a Linksys WAG54S router which was connected to BT. I'm now trying to set up a wireless network

1st problem is that the ethernet cable coming from the modem will not fit the line (telephone type cable) connection on the router, so I then changed this to a telephone line cable which obviously fits the 'line' connection on the router and sort of fits the 'ethernet' connection on the modem. Is this right?

2nd problem is that I don't know what settings I should use for the router? The previous ones were for BT but I've just reset the router to clear all, but should I be setting username and password?

All advice appreciated thanks, Stephen
