I wanted to go wireless on my ntl broadband, so I bought a Netgear ADSL modem, firewall and wireless router. When I tried to plug it in, I found that the ntl cable would not fit into the back of my lovely new box (the ntl cable is not ADSL).
Do I have to return the new box and get a router-only set up, or can I get around this somehow (and avoid having both a modem and a router)??
Thanks (and I'm sure there are already numerous threads on this, but I couldn't find them).
The ADSL router has a build in ADSL modem, and plugs into the phone line.
you then plug the router into the NTL CM and all should be great
(the cable routers are also cheaper than the ADSL ones..)

So anything labelled as a wireless cable router is sufficient in the UK then? It is just a standard ethernet port on these boxes?
Yep Ethernet is a standard connector for routers etc. If you want any advice as to which to get just ask and you'll get plenty of advice from people here who already have similar set ups.
