Hi guys

I've got a friend who wants me to setup wireless broadband for his mother. Simple enough task, but I'm being told by various people at work that it isn't possible if the user is getting their BB through the set-top box. When I ask them why they say they're not sure? But apparently Virgin do something at their end to stop them using their own kit through a STB!? Not a good enough answer for me I'm affraid and TBH I think it's a load of rubbish (but I've now started to question myself!). Surely if I use router that is NAT capable it doesn't matter?
