Advice on BT Voyager 205 - adding a wireless network?
      #229884 - Thu Oct 13 2005 03:20 PM

Hi, any advcie would be appreciated on my following question. I have a 2Mb BB connection with BT using the BT Voyager 205 Modem/Router. From the Voyager 205 I am connected via USB (yes I know not the best method!) to the main PC and by ethernet to a second PC. My question is can I make this wireless to enable me to use my Laptop also. I have a redundant Belkin Cable/DSL 4 Port Router (and PCMCIA Wirelsss Network Card) from which I used when I had a cable modem with NTL once. Can I connect this from the ethernet port on the Voayger 205 then hard wire by ethernet from the Belkin Router to the 2 PC's and use the wirless function for the laptop? Am I in for a right pain in the a** setting up? As I currently use USB for connecting one PC would I need to do anything to enable use of the ethernet port on the PC or would the Belkin set up cover all this? Any views would be gratefully received before I decide to take the plunge!
Many thanks

your voyager 205 isn't a wireless modem and i don't think a cable modem the belkin that you used for your ntl connection will work on your phone line adsl, so in short no i don't think you can set up a wireless connection for the laptop, best bet would be to buy a new wired/wireless modem router.there are some cheap ones out there.
