pistolgrip Posted November 10, 2006 CID Share Posted November 10, 2006 I recently replaced my BT Voyager205 router (ISP = BT) with a wireless router and a plug in BT Voyager Wireless adaptor card. All went well and my laptop can now pick up my BT account remotely. The connection from router to PC is made by inputting a product key (supplied with the router) Feeling all pleased with myself, I trundled down to another house where I have a different ISP (ntlworld) and bought a Linksys Wireless G router to attach to my cable modem. When I configured the Lynksys, I was asked for a passphrase and I chose WEP (not knowing what else to choose?). I chose a phrase and this was scrambled into an alphanumeric code which I took to be the equivalent of the Voyager Product key. The problem is that although the PC can see the Linksys router, I cannot seem to get connected and wondering where the error is. that the product key is not the same as this passphrase code or is it something to do with the naming of the SSID?

Shug7272 Posted November 10, 2006 CID Share Posted November 10, 2006 http://192.168.1.1 Username: admin Password: admin Put the above address in your explorer bar and hit enter after hooking up the router to the pc with a ethernet cable. Then enter the Username and Pass. This should get you into the router setup. Hope this helps, if not let me know there is another way. Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy the site and tell your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just- Posted November 10, 2006 CID Share Posted November 10, 2006 hey pistolgrip nice to see some one from the uk so who is better NTL or BT ? which isp do u prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistolgrip Posted November 10, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 10, 2006 Worked for NTL for several years but don't generally advertise the fact now. Some folk like to offload their frustrations on you. And they're right of course because the NTL support is still rubbish. Maybe once the Virgin brand gets a hold on them things should improve but this doesn't help people pulling their hair out now!. I've had a couple of problems with the BT broadband but generally get straight through to someone in their call centre in India. Give them their due, they normally have an answer or solution fairly quickly. Don't like the yahoo toolbar though, too distracting. What've you got? If I had the choice, I'd have BT. I only take the NTL since I have cable anyway and I was too busy or too lazy to change at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
