Broadband Router

[salmonsteve]

My broadband is supplied by BT and they gave us a BT voyager router with which has a a phone connected to it so we can receive calls when connected to the internet.......

atm this router only allows one pc to be connected at a time, I want to get a new one with wireless and 4 pc connectors, can i buy any router from a store or does it have to be a bt voyager one?

im not sure but you could set up the new one as an acess point.

if it's with BT i'll assume its ADSL, so as far as i know, you just need to go for an ADSL router. There should be lots to choose from. Try looking here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/produc...=46&catid=1012

If you use the VOIP phone Steve that’s a good reason to stick with your current router.

Simple thing to do would be to buy either a “5 port hub/switch” and a “wireless access point”, or see if you can find a device that combines the two, I know Linksys used to produce such a device, quite simply it was a “Wireless Router”, but had no modem capabilities so it just plugged into your existing “modem router” via Ethernet.



Good luck and let us know how you get on.
