Hi Untechnical,

Like you, I occaisionally work from home through a Cisco VPN connection. I have recently obtained a d-link n router from Virgin (free of charge without upgrading - although that's a different thread, just search for my other posts).

I connect my home laptop and my work laptop at the same time with no problems, so no the Virgin service is not limited to 1 device.

The issue is:
1. Are you entitled to a free router from Virgin (you may not be 'entitled' but if you are a long standing customer a word in the right ear may get you one.
2. If not, do you buy one supplied by Virgin, or buy a different one. Opinion seems divided on the quality of the router supplied by Virgin but if you get if for free what do you have to lose?

Hope this helps
TZ
