Changing our WIFI router

[#1]

Hi all,
I've recently been gifted a router (Netgear N-300) that was previously on a Virgin Media account.
I've tried to connect to it but won't.
Will this connect to our Plusnet ADSL? Do I have to change any of the settings? If so, how? Finally, is it worth changing it from the Thomson (TG585 v8) we currently have?
Thanks in advance
Howie

Should do - provided you put the correct settings in.
It doesn't need to be connected to the phone line whilst you do this.
Likely to be a better router than Plusnet's offerings.
