Virgin Media Router - going wireless

[quackhandle]

Right, the mother-in-law has got a decent new laptop and wants to go wireless. I'm not that clued up on all this malarky, but I now know that I'm with BT so I needed an ADSL wireless router but MIL is on virgin media cable. She doesn't have the super hub but a normal router. I thought I could plug in my ZyXEL NBG4615 and jobs a good un, but I noticed on the VM router there is a connection like a TV connector - so I guess I can't use the ZyXEL?

Do I have to phone up VM and ask for one of there routers to go wireless?

TIA

With the next set of network upgrades VM want (and need) to upgrade all the cable modems to superhubs. Ring them up and you should be able to get the upgrade done for free and even get their people to set up the laptop to be wireless.

Cheers, I will get her to ring up for the super hub, but I have managed to get it sorted by using an ethernet cable from the cable router to the wireless router. Working fine now.
