Great replies from you both, thank you very much.
Sam, in addition to your IT talents it would appear that you are also
a mind-reader! I was thinking to do away with a run of cable by using
powerline adaptors, depends on the final position of the TC.
Best wishes,
Mark

Hi Mark
If you've got the Virgin Media cable mode already connected to the
Time Capsule and you're going to hide an ethernet cable to allow
the TC to be moved, why not just use the hidden cable to connect
the cable modem and the TC? There's no need to introduce an
additional router unless you need to maintain two separate
networks, separating the n capable equipment onto its own network.
Also, instead of laying ethernet cable around your house you could
use powerline networking equipment to bridge the connection via the
power sockets in your wall, which are already connected via cable.
There are gigabit capable powerline kits but with n speeds you'd
only need 300mbps max.
To put the TC into bridge mode, open the Airport Utility and select
manual setup on the TC, go to Internet > IP address distribution >
Set to Off (Bridge Mode)
To put the Virgin Media router in bridge mode go tohttp://
192.168.1.1(by default, unless it's been changed) and log in with
admin/password (default) > go to LAN Setup > untick Use DHCP server
> click Apply.
Just don't set both devices to bridge!
