Cable Forum - View Single Post - Virgin Media Wireless, but no wireless router.

Hi guys, I've been with Virgin media for some time now but had to disconnect last year as i didn't need internet connection as i move out to uni.

Now, i got it connected again and got a standard modem with it. What i want to do is, allow other laptops to connect to the internet (i.e. share the internet), and also i have a wireless enabled AIO Printer.

Question is: Do i need to get a wireless cable modem router? OR can i give people access to use the internet connection using a wireless adapter, and also using the printer at the same time too?

I used Zen a few years ago and the way we got around this was to hook the router up to a wireless router, and the wireless router to the PC and set it up like that - Although this was pretty complicated setting up + there's too much modems/routers about!

Sorry if this has been covered before.

Thanks!
