Cable Router

Bures

ULTIMATE Member
A friend of mine wishes to purchase a laptop which he could work wirelessly to his main PC.
Currently he is with Virgin uses a cable modem. I presume I need to get him a Router to plug into this cable modem.
My question is this - will any router suffice or has it got to be a "Cable Router"
When I look at suppliers some routers are listed as "Cable" and other just "Routers" which leaves me confused.
 
Does the virgin supplied Cable Modem / Router not already have Wi-Fi built-in? Most routers generally support one of two different types of broadband connection, DSL (ADSL, ADSL2+ etc.) or Cable based. You are correct in saying that your friend will need a cable router. Belkin do a large range of cable routers.
 
Thanks Mark.

I will have to check on his existing cable modem, if this is not Wi-Fi then I will need to get the cable router.
