Hardly ever post things in other sections apart from GD.
I am currently with virgin broadband (sucks i know) and i have a modem which they sent. It is quite **** really, has a socket for the phone line and it has a USB wire coming out of it to connect to the computer... nothing else.
I have software on the computer and need to dial up every time i need to go on the net (very annoying). Right now comes the hard bit. I am trying to connect this modem to my wireless router (belkin) and obviously i cant (no usb port). I cant directly plug the phone line in to the router (or can i?) as i need the software on the computer to dial in so to speak. I dont think a usb to ethernet converter will work as i need the software.
Any one else had this problem and is it easy to fix?
PS - I HATE VIRGIN
