    Can anyone help setting up a wireless router for broadband?

    At present have broadband through a wired router.

    Have been given a bt router ( bt voyager 2110).

    However don't have any details how to set this up.

    addendum ;

    Hooked eircom modem to BT modem and now have wireless signal.

    However a WEP key is required for access.. any inspiration?!!

    Wep key on back of BT router.. case solved!

    If anyone thinks i can connect straight through bt kit with an eircom bb let me know.

    You currently have a modem connected to a modem, which is overkill. Just copy all the settings in the DSL section from the eircom modem to the BT one. Then just use the Voyager modem/router.

    WEP is no protection at all, change it to WPA2. If that's not available, then change your router, as WEP is crap.

    Thanks.

    I'm not familiar with either of those modems, so I've no idea. If you were able to get this far in configuring it, you should be able to figure it out by going back over the settings.

    There was no configuring involved.
    Stuck cable into modem and got signal.
    Could not hook up because no " WEP" key.
    Noticed WEP key on label on back of Bt modem and typed it in.
    "

    just copy the settings" as you said indicated that you might know how.
