Re: Is this the Linksys Router Everyone says is good with Virgin Cable?

Nope, most people prefer the non compact version WRT54G WRT54GL or WRT54GS.

That one you link to will do the job. However because of it's compact type, there may be limitations with the power and range of the wireless if the aerial isn't in an ideal position.

That router looks nicer but the WRT54 series is the best.

The router in question is pathetic, recent trip abroad in an open apartment with plasterboard internal walls gives this router a shocking 15meter wireless range...

Stick to the WRT54G, WRT54GL or WRT54GS.
