What is the error message that you get when you access the router through a computer?
How are you attempting to access the router and wired or wireless?

I see you are in the UK. Is this a Virgin Media supplied router?

It seems to be unique to Virgin. No manuals available on legitimate sites. I'm finding downloads but the sites are dodgy and I don't want to compromise my computer nor yours either.

This will show you how to access your router Netgear VMDG280
And here is the manual http://setuprouter.com/router/netgear/vmdg280/manual-488.pdf
The manual is very limited in detail although the top link should get you into your router? The number you have quoted is not a Netgear model, probably one made for Virgin by Netgear?
Both clean links.

If you read this Netgear VMDG280
and go to this link Netgear VMDG280 WiFi Instructions within the above it gives step by step instructions.
Sorry, I am late getting back.
I am a bit unsure of by the terms used. The reason is that when the technician set up the PC he gave me a 26 numbers/letters combination which I believe he said was the 'Key', and I do not know if, or where in the default settings that 26 numbers/letters should go.
Thank you

That should be already programed into your modem if the technician did their job properly.
That 26 alpha numeric is the code (password) that you should be entering into a device that is attempting to access your network wireless.
The device that is requesting the wireless transmission from you network will ask for that password. If you tell that device to remember the password you will not have to type it in again. They are set to do this automatically.
Thank you. I am getting closer. That is what I gave my son when he got his PC.
I have found the Login details on the side of the Router, but they do not work. The technician was well know to me so he probably changed them (long time ago) and he is not available now. I now understand what is SSID.
Tomorrow or later, I will have a studious attempt to reset the Router, because I have read that all the other settings will be altered, so I would prefer to be able to Login.
