Voyager 220V - more than 1 PC

robguil — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:38:14 GMT

Already using BT Biz Broadband with an Intel Anypoint ADSL connection.

I need to connect 2 PCs to the BBand conenction - I have bought a Voyager 220V ADSL Router - will this work - if so how as it only seems to have one connection?

Im confused - the blurb when I bought it said it could connect 2 x PCs - but unless you can connect one as ethernet and one as USB (is that right??) I can't see how you get 2 x PCs connected to it.

Thanks ... BTW, I'm not interested in use the VOIP side of the Voyager.

Hi Rob,

Yes you are right, the Voyager 220V can connect to two PCs, one via the Ethernet and the other one via the USB port.

(Taken from the BT Voyager 220V welcome pack):

"To connect to a second computer, insert the CD-ROM into the additional computer and, when prompted, choose the option for connecting to a second PC.

To change the way you have connected your computer to the router, e.g. from USB to Ethernet, simply disconnect the BT Voyager 220V from your computer, run the installation CD-ROM and select the preferred type when prompted. The CD-ROM will not affect any existing configurations, e.g. stored emails on your computer".

Kind regards,

Stephanie

Thanks for the response - it does work!

What was confusing was that it described the ports on the back as "Ethernet" and "alternative USB connection" - to me that means Ethernet OR USB not both .... clearly the manual writer was the usual Chinese man wearing boxing gloves to type with

Whatever, it works and has solved the problem.
