It is a Cable router you need. ADSL modem routers will not work

Can Virgin can supply me with one of their pre-configured Netgear routers, how much are they?
|
They are £47.50 for any existing broadband customer

I am on their 'L' package according to my bills (although i think somehow that translates into 'medium' package in reality - most confusing).
|
If it says L on your bill you are on the L service

Also apart from the cost of the router will it cost me anything else afterwards?
|
No

Can all people with PC's or laptops use wireless routers and what ISP will the 'tenant' end up with e.g. will they automatically end up with aol?
|
No, they will not access AOL. Your ISP is now Virgin Media, however you have access to the AOL pages because it was set up on your PC. If you connected a new PC you wouldn't automatically have access to AOL or Virgn or anything else. It would be up to the person using the computer to choose

Will they be able to access my pc or internet? Please advise.....
|
Not unless you let them

What are the legal implications of two people sharing a wireless router if say one person downloads/uses it for 'illegal' purposes? I would hate to be caught up in or impacted upon by anything the
other user might do....

The account holder would be liable as you control the connection

So does anyone know about continuing to use AOL's software with Virgin via a wireless router?
|
There would be no issue. As far as I know the AOL software doesn't really care how it connects to the internet

Ironically i did have a virgin media connection in the 'tenants' room but it doesn't seem to be connected anymore if indeed it ever was! unless i give this room a different address and advise the royal mail and council accordingly, Virgin media won't let me have another account in my home! Instead i would have to pay for a landline to be installed from the postoffice for £107 and then get it transferred into another internet providers name! Seems stupid to me. Any advice here?

Your only option for a completely seperate account is a BT line based service
