right, as some may know lm going through some tough times at the moment however lve found somewhere for myself to reside for a couple of months given that l can help with food and such...

anywho l have been given permission to move my internet to that place of residence, and from what lm told l can move my Virgin ADSL to a Cable based contract (same company and such) lve already checked with the Virgin checker and she (my granny) is covered by cable however since l dont really want to get any more hardware or have too many cables ld like to see if l can work it in just a way that l could use my current hardware my DG834N modem router to route the internet via wireless to the room in which l will be staying for temporary. lm pretty sure it should be possible in theory but ld like some help and advice on how to route things since its not just a "router" its a modem too.
 
Hi,
Virgin will provide you with a cable modem, to which you will need to connect a wireles router/hub.
I expect that your could use router/modem to act as a relay to the router/hub.

the other thing tou would need to do is tell your router/modem that the gateway to the internet is on the router/hub instead.

I hope this helps

would be useful to have some sorta readme on how to.. lm not going to be there for long long time so being able to use my own hardware would be great, lm pretty sure its possible but ld like to know how to configure it.. worst case scenario is l have to see if l can borrow my friends spare but l dont want to unless l have to because it will cost him to send.

way ahead of you there asked at cableforum.. as for the speed, lm looking into 10meg at the least.. possibly 20meg lm kinda a heavy downloader so the XL packages would suit me.
 
Best read up about the SMTP they are doing you max out the connectioni at peak times which seem to be almost 24/7 then you are capped.
Check on that forum and see
 
l have an idea of the limits, but l dont plan on hitting them too much.. besides the capping levels arnt too much more than the speed l get now so l can deal with them.
