The most reliable router out there! - I concider the BT Voyager one of the best wireless adsl2 routers out there. It has good wireless range and rock solid reliability, unlike the D-Link and Netgears I tried previously. One slight problem is that it s starting to get old. While it supports ADSL2 20mbps download speed I could not find any BT firmware to upgrade it and make it work upstream at 2mbps, it seems to be stuck with a limit of 1.3mbps upstream.
Exceptionally good performance - This is my third router, the previous ones being Belkin and Netgear, and both became faulty after a period of use. I have had the Voyager for about seven months, so I can t vouch for its long term performance, but the performance within that period has been exceptionally good. Firstly, the Internet connection has NEVER dropped out. It has been switched off when I have been away from home occasionally and on switching on again it recaptures the broadband signal within about half a minute without my touching it. The other two both had occasional drop outs and had to be rebooted. Secondly the signal strength right at the top of my three storey Victorian house is more than twice as strong as it was with my earlier routers. The wireless card in the upstairs PC reports 75% signal as against 35% with the other routers. It was fast and straightforward to set up and both the instructions and the on-screen menu are written in plain English. The security key is pre-set in this unit, which means you might have difficulty if you wanted to use it as an unsecured public access point in a restaurant or something like that, although there may well be a way to disable the WEP security somewhere in the software. In its default condition it gives you 128 bit encryption which should be ultra safe. The Wi-Fi connection speed seems just as fast as when you plug the computer in on a cable.Overall, very impressive performance, and very good value for money.
Robert - I bought this router to replace a BT Voyager 105 which had started dropping my connection after two years.Initial set up was as easy as plugging it all in, entering my password and away I went.Speed was fairly consistent with the odd drop out every few weeks, just a matter of re booting and I was up and running, no real hassle and not worth getting an engineer out.Drops out became more common and speed gradually fell away, I went through the online fault finding process with my ISP, next step was to call out a BT engineer, I decided to buy another Router just in case my router was faulty and I got hit with a big call out charge.Lucky I did, I bought another make of router, connected it all up and now I m enjoying much faster speeds on both desk top and laptop connected wirelessly, and I ve had a connection now for 3 months with no drop outs.The BT router was only 18 months old, is there built in obsolescence I ask my self with two routers failing in such a short time.
So Easy - Recieved this yesterday, took it home and 30 minutes later my wireless network was ready. So easy to set up and install, unlike the unreliable Belkin unit it replaced.If I have a criticism, its on the network key on the bottom of the unit, whilst its an excellent idea, they need to make the print bigger as one of the letters could have been one of three different choices.
Reliable wireless Router,security protecred - Great router from BT, you can boost the signal if the router is kept away from anything metal, ie: radiators or mirrors, the time of day can affect your speed, as expected- I only saw a poor signal when it was not in a good position as stated above-I found that tip from Webuser Computer magazine.Very happy with BT router. I would recommed this to anyone.
