Wired router for virgin!

craigieboy · 28 Oct 2010 at 18:50

Hi guys. Can anyone suggest a wired router for my virgin broadband? I've had 2 linksys routers in the past, both probably lasted about a year. But as i haven't used a router for over a year, i'm just wondering if there's anything new out there! Don't really need wireless as i already have a cat5 cable laid under the floorboards into the other room!

Cheers!

Cable? ADSL? Throughput?

Thanks for the reply.
I think the 2 linksys ones were cable/dsl. Does this make sense? Whats throughput?
Cheers!

Well, what are you using as a modem? Please give the make and model.

It's a virgin mobile modem. Doesn't have a make or model no!

You're using Virgin's 3G broadband service?

Sorry Fluff, dont know why i put mobile in there! My head is up my rear end! Its a standard virgin modem, not a wireless hub. If that makes sense. This is the router i have used before, if that helps.

Why did the linksys die? did they overheat?

Not too sure tbh. They just stopped working. Didn't matter what i tried, they wouldn't work!
