Can i use this as an additional router as well as main virgin one. So both my virgin router is giving out wifi and this router aswell?

I work with TP Link Routers a lot in the IT industry, so there are two ways to do this, the hard way, more complex but does have its benefits, and the easy way, which too has one main benefit; simplicity. The easy way has been covered here, either connect the TPLink via an ethernet cable ( honestly, Cat5, 5e, 6 matter little in a domestic application) from its blue port back to any one of the LAN ports of the virgin media router. When the TP Link is connected, it will sort itself out and automatically decide how to configure both networks. Alternatively, jump into the TPLink settings and change from router mode to wireless access point mode, and the TPLink will then act as a Wifi extender. The complex way does involve changing a lot of settings, but has the advantage that your internal network will be one, and technically not two. Having it as one, means that sharing devices like printers, media centres, disk drives will be possible. Having two networks, unless you want to get a little complex means this sharing is not likely to happen. Hope this helps

No modem - buy one or buy a new router/modem?

Hi it’s just a router no adsl modem build in Ok it you want to extend your current internet run a Lan cable from your current modem to the internet port on this device blue Port I’ve several used on sky/ talktalk systems as some of their modems only have 2 ports on the modem If you need a modem then look at ac1900 vsl adsl router Steve

Yes, on set up, chapter 5 page 22 of manual, there is a check box alongside the SSID, it just needs a tick to hide the SSID .
