Virgin Media Wireless N Adaptor
Hi,

When I got 50Mb last year, I was given a Netgear N router and USB Wirelss N Adaptor. I understand VM are giving D-Link equipment with 50Mb.

1. Could someone tell me the model number of the D-Link USB Wirless N Adaptor?

2. How much is it if I get it from VM?

Re: Virgin Media Wireless N Adaptor
If you buy it elsewhere it then it will be unsupported and you will not be covered by the 2 year warranty.

It is not supported as it is 3rd party equipment.

Re: Virgin Media Wireless N Adaptor
Thanks.
Changing the subject a bit.

Does anyone know where I can get the Drivers for the Netgear WN111 that I got last March with my 50Mb setup.

I remember downloading it from the VM site but lost the link now.

Found it: http://www.virginmedia.com/myvirginm...iverupdate.php

Any equipment not supplied by Virgin directly is classed as 3rd party

Re: Virgin Media Wireless N Adaptor
but why wouldnt they support support something thats identical to what they supply?

its a bit daft to say to someone yes its the same but u didnt buy it from us therefore your not having any support.

Why?

If I buy a computer from John Lewis, can I go into PC World and say 'well it's the same as the ones you sell so I want you to help me with it for free'? No, I can't

Only you could put forward that logic.

Read Ben's post above for clarification.

a computer tho is built of many parts that could be different to another where as 1 adapter is just 1 IDENTICAL component.
