Hi I have just installed a BT Voyager 205 modem router to get my broadband
working and when I got to the question in the wizard asking me how I was
going to use the 205, was it with just one PC or 2 PCs or a games console I
was stumped? I wanted to use it with a Medion MD 40900 wireless router so for
some reason I chose games console just to move on but I wish I had chosen the
2 PCs in hind sight as I think that would have sent the Broadband down the
Ethernet cable where it would have been some use in the wireless router. I
have used the USB cable from the Voyager to my PC and that works OK and that
leaves the Ethernet cable to go to the Medion. I assume that goes into the
WAN socket on the Medion wireless router and another cross over cable to go
to the PC in the LAN slot. As a silver surfer I am groping around in the dark
somewhat so any help will be appreciated
Charlie,
I wonder if it wouldn't be better for you to rerun the wizard, and make the
right selection. The choices are indeed interesting.
If you're going to have 2 (or more) computers, I would bet that at some time
you're going to want to move files between the two. This makes it useful if the
Voyager and the Medion are properly setup to start. By default, you'll end up
with the 2 computers in 2 separate little worlds ("subnets"), and neither
computer will be able to access the other.
Please tell us more about your network. Will you be trying to access anything
between your 2 computers? Does your first computer only have a USB connector?
Here is where I would peruse the Voyager users guide for you, to anticipate the
answers that you might need, but BT provides only a page reading:
The BT Voyager 205 Router comes as part of a broadband package. For Technical
Support please contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) from the list below.
In other words, not a lot of help. So you'll have to do all of the research
here.
