Cable Broadband and Airport Extreme Base Station

[amardilo]

Hi there.

I was looking at going for cable broadband and was wondering if my Apple Airport Extreme base station would work with it or would I require a new router.

I want to keep my current router if possible as I just bought it (still new..ish but too old to return) and it works great as a Pre-N (need N due to distance issues) router and works well with my Apple TV and Macbook.

Does anyone know if my Airport Extreme would wok with Virgin media's cable broadband service?

Hi,

The apple Airport Extreme works perfectly well with VM/NTL cable. I have the PS3 downstairs and the signal was week so I dumped the Buffalo (very good unit by the way) for the Apple Airport. It all working well - except I recently got 'upgraded' to 20Mb - terrible service. I'm now worse off than with my previous 10Mb service. Nothing to do with the Airport Extreme unit though. ... just VM ballsing up again.
