Some of you have said that a BT router works ok and some have said ditch it and buy one.
Perhaps you could be kind enough explain technically [but simply for the less knowledgeable!] what exactly is wrong with a wired BT Voyager.
For the average home user? Probably nothing, or very little. On the other hand, I need my router to be able to do port forwarding and QoS. I use it's VPN functions so that I can have a UK IP address regardless of where I am in the world and I have some VPN tunnels that make managing a set of servers rather easier than it might otherwise be. I make a small piece of bandwidth available to any driveby wireless user, but I lock down what they can have access to. All on my router.
