It would be great if someone could help me out with this.
Virgin media are giving us faster broadband because I moaned at them so they are coming to fit us with one of their Superhubs & TiVo.
This is the bit i need help with.

We currently have this router here (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/netgear-wndr3400-n600-dual-band-wireless-router-06898031-pdt.html) due to us having quite a large house with allot of devices that use it. I was wondering if their Superhub would match our current router & if it doesn't if I could somehow attach our router to their's so we have two. I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense.

It would be brilliant if someone could help.
Thanks!

Super Hub's have a mode called "Modem Mode" so that you can connect your router to it and use that instead of the router side of the SuperHub.

Ace, I moaned at Virgin & they're giving me a TiVo box with no installation fee & faster internet for £8.50 a month!

I managed to get from 30MB to 50MB for nothing extra, and a free Superhub posted to me, then I swapped it over and posted back the old kit, Then I'll be getting doubled to 100MB.

I called retentions and threatened to leave them in favor of BT, they soon offered me that!

I've recently replaced Sky with Virgin Media and the whole TiVo/Superhub deal and I'm using a wireless dongle over a router to connect. Too many boxes having a router & a superhub for me, I prefer to keep it all nice and tidy!

P.S: Hate TiVo, the layout is ridiculous and it isn't as user-friendly as Sky.

Worth a try for nothing.
