Hey folks! I've got a Virgin Media router that occasionally connects to WiFi. It's turned on and shows up in my WiFi settings, but there's no actual connection. I remember it worked before with a cable connected to it, but I've lost that cable and can't recall what type it was. I've come across two main suggestions: some say I need an Ethernet cable, while others mention a coax cable. I want to make sure I buy the correct one instead of ending up with a bunch of cables I can't use.

Absolutely, confirm your router model too! It might help with figuring out if you need any special cables. Also, sometimes a simple restart of the router can do wonders!
Just to add on, make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged into the correct port on your router. If it's still not connecting, check for any firmware updates for your router as well!
You’ll want to use an Ethernet cable to connect your router to your computer. That should help you get a stable connection. Coax cables are generally used for the internet signal to reach your router, but if you’re looking to connect devices directly, Ethernet is the way to go.
