Question from Nigel: Asked on 22/11/2007 What would be the best router to get for this product i am on Virgin Media and want a very good product so price is not an option.

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 22/11/2007
This will depend on your modem connection as if it is a USB connection you will need a modem router to replace your existing modem. If it is a network modem then I would recommend product code DI-524/B, as from personal experience the D-Link is very simple to set up and is great for use with Virgin media.
