There is a option PPPOE where a username and password is required, I shall try this tomorrow.
Thanks

Nooooooooo! You do not need PPPoE for a cable network. It won't work.

Hello!
I have the 50MB virgin connection and been using a 2820N for ages, well since released. Today I am playing around with a IPPBX2820 and they both work great on the VM connection.
Virgin Modem into WAN2
On General Setup, disable WAN1, enable WAN2
On Internet Access - WAN2, Static or Dynamic tab, enable this and leave the options as default - Obtain IP automatically, default MAC address, DNS server leave blank.
Reboot the Virgin modem - and keep an eye on the status page, the router will pickup a 192.168.100.xx address which is the local virgin modem address then a few seconds after it will change to your public address - when its got the 192.168.100.xx address you can click release/renew to do it slightly quicker.
I do notice that when you swap routers then you do have to reboot the virgin modem to get the connection back
hope that helps.
