Thanks for all the help everyone. I'm much clearer now.
I'll go down the path of adding a wireless router once I can source one at virtually no cost.
To mop up the other points:
The Virgin modem is provided by them, so I can't replace that.
I thought about sharing the connection, but don't want one of the machines wired.
Virgin aren't going to give me 2 WAN ip addresses. They're going to try to move me to their 50Mb service at extra cost, because that includes (I believe) a wireless router. But that's more money than I want to pay a month and all I need is about a 0.5k connection for logging in here and checking email, with a bit of spoken word Spotify every so often which is about all I ever do anyway.
Can't find much else interesting to do with the internet.
