Good afternoon

Help! I just joined Virgin Broadband and they supplied me with a normal one port router. I have now have a laptop that I would like to use on wifi but there is only one port of that small cable router.

I do have a new Netgear 814 router wireless; I tried to connect it to the small Virgin router with the Ethernet cable but did not go far!!

How can I and what is required to connect my Netgear router to the small one port Virgin box, to allow me to have more ethernet ports and wifi in the house? is that possible?

The virgin cable end is a round shape, clever way of doing it, so, i cannot plug it in the back of my Netgear...is it to force me to buy their router?

Thank you for your help! Gilles
