Setting up 2820n with Virgin Broadband

I am trying to set up the 2820n with Virgin broad band (50MB fibre which has a modem), after researching I found that this router does both Modem and DSL connection. I have used the wizard on the start up screen and picked Static IP address, as everything else seems to come up with a ADSL connection asking for username and passwords, I have filled in the relevant info, which include

static IP address, which I have got from the modem
MAC address which I got from the modem
DNS retrieved from the modem
Gateway retrieved from Modem



I have managed to get a LAN connection which I am only getting 17MB download but get no connection on the wireless part, even though it is enabled. If I plug directly into the Modem I get 47MB download, I know this router is capable of 50MB through put, as confirmed from your web site and confirmed from your retailer " Broadbandbuyer".

I am currently using a bog standard Dlink which seems to work no problems, the whole Idea of this router 2820n was to increase the wireless range of the "N" series and have more control.

In short I am only getting 17MB download when I should get 47MB/50MB and cannot get the wireless to work

Can someone point me in the right direction
