Hi after days looking managed to buy a belkin wireless cable router F5D7231UK4 (last one available)for my cable telewest blueyonder BB.

Problem - current webstar cable modem connects to PC via USB. There is a free ethernet port on modem which I see will connect to new belkin router.

I still need to make intital connection to PC via ethernet are there ways around this. Can I set up Belkin router on another PC or does it still need to go via modem.

I already have a second PC wirelessy enabled via USB and a laptop with internal wireless card.

I just need help setting up main PC as you need a wired connection to start with. I was thinking of keeping existing wired USB/modem in place after as I only need the second PC and laptop wireless.

I have read about wireless PCi card or ethernet adapter but my modem only has the one ethernet port and even with a ethernet adapter in PC I cant connect it to router.

Sorry but I want to get parts needed before Christmas hols.

Thanks
