    How can I get wireless on Virgin? Please help.

    Of course, he hasn't specifically said he is on cable - then again, the fact he is currently getting it via a Speedtouch frog sounds to me as if he is on ADSL and that the new modem router he's bought should do the trick :wink: Homer

    Trying to set Netgear DG834GT up. CHAP failed????

    agree with duckegg - flashing your firmware is possibly your best option. There is a tutorial here at Sky User Forums if you feel confident enough. It may screw up your router - flashing firmware can go wrong - but, as you intend getting a newer router anyway, it seems you don't have much...

    Decorating after dado removal

    Removed the dado rail from the front room last night - it had been glued on by the previous owner and it took patches of the top layer of plasterboard with it. The bottom half was papered - it peeled off easily leaving the backing paper 90% intact. The top half had been done with matt...

    Cloud9 on stairs?

    I'm talking underlay here - not my state of mind :lol: Getting new carpets for lounge, a bedroom and hall/stairs. Settled on Cumulus for the lounge/bedroom but don't know if it is the best for the stairs. Super Conract is a tad 'firmer' and may be more suited to the stairs - but I want...
