My current router is plugged directly into the phoneline i.e. it's an
all in one modem and wireless router.
The new set up will be a separate cable modem plus a separate DSL/cable
compatible router. The Virgin Media chap told me I couldn't use my
existing router with the new cable modem.

Honestly, the router Virgin Media will give you will be a broadband
router - sometimes called a cable router even though it has nothing

As far as I am aware, a standard Virgin installation does not include a
router, just a cable modem. This has a single ethernet output (and a USB

You -may- be able to use your existing ADSL wireless router as a
wireless range extender to the Virgin cable router (as mentioned, you
will certainly not be able to use your existing router in place of the

I actually perfer separate devices. My experience has been that the
all in one devices (modem, router, wireless access point) aren't very
flexible. For my DSL service, I actually had to pay a little more to
get just a modem rather than what they call an internet gateway.

Maybe I'm not explaining myself properly.
I will be provided with separate a cable modem and DSL router. I don't

company. I believe what you refer to as a DSL router is just a generic
router.
There is some confusion of terms here. Unless in the UK a generic
router is referred to as a DSL router.
