Re: 2 routers

You only have one broadband connection per account. Thus you only get one cable modem / router provided. You will not be able to obtain a second modem / router from official sources, and cannot get activated any illegitimately obtained modem / router.

In some cases it has been possible, depending on how the property is considered by Virgin Media, to register two separate user accounts (generally you've got to be seen as a multi household property), in which case you would have two separate bills, and two connections available for broadband. That's expensive.

Your best option is to have the router, run an ethernet cable from it to the other location and add a second wireless access point there. Alternatively you might consider the homeplug type networking that uses your power cable wiring.
