I think there is a little confusion here - when you say Virgin, I assume you mean Virgin Media and you're in the UK? Firstly, ADSL if a variant of DSL - as far as I understand it all consumer DSL is ADSL. At the moment you more than likely have ADSL with which you are using an ADSL wireless router. This is a wireless router with an integrated ADSL modem. If you are changing to Virgin Media cable then they will supply you with a cable modem so you'll need to buy a standard wireless router that you will plug your cable modem into. You will (almost certainly) not be able to plug the Virgin Media cable modem into your ADSL wireless router. If you are changing to cable then what the cable company said about changing from an ADSL router to a DSL router is pretty much nonsense. Once everything is set up SBs shoudld work with any router. I hope that clears things up a little. -- elziko ------------------------------------------------------------------------ elziko's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51550 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
