Do as Bex suggests and look at Virgin because it is much easier if you have one they recommend if there any problems.

i got my wireless router thingy last weekend and it is at the minute plugged into a 10 year old pc and stll works but I got a thing with it that plugs into a usb port as well to enable it to be wireless. I got mine from pc world, it's for a BT line but saw a few there that said they were for what you have

I do have a problem at the minute though that my laptop says its connected if you look at the status thingy but when I first open internet explorer nothing happens so no idea whats going on there.

good luck with it.

if you go to control panel,click network and internet options, then click internet connections,choose the connections tab, go down to LAN settings and click the box automatically detect settings, it should help your laptop internet explorer find the server
dont forget to click save settings when finished
