Hi,

I have a BT Voyager 2100 on a BT line with NTL as my ADSL ISP. All
works well, with the Voyager connected to the desktop via LAN and
supplying a wireless AP for another desktop and some laptops, with the
AP, Internet and file sharing all working most excellently at present.

However, to adjust any settings on the router or AP one has to use the
website voyager.home which, for some reason unknown to me, is now
refusing to play ball, and is unavailable. I have made no system
changes recently. Despite numerous re-boots, power cycles and
refreshes, flushes of cache and fiddling with security settings I still
get a "Page cannot be displayed" error message ....

We use Win XP and Internet Explorer, though the settings page also
doesn't work in Deepnet Explorer or Mozilla Firebird either.

Anyone any clues?

Can a BT Voyager 2100 be configured via the desktop without recourse to
the website (http://voyager.home/main.html) ?

If so how would I go about doing this?

Again, everything works, the wireless side is protected to WPA level and
has all the mac addresses I need at the moment to 'lock' the equipment
down. Howver, we are soon to take delivery of another laptop and I'll
need to configure the mac addresses to enable the new laptop to connect
to the wireless network and AP, so it's going to become a serious issue
pretty soon.

Regards,

i also use a 2100 and cant get onto it via http://voyager.home either. Im
sure ive gotten in it in the past with some combination of voyager and home
but i forget it for now.
You could alternativly connect via its ip address (default
http://192.168.1.1 ) or going into your network settings should show a
device called "BT Voyager 2100" which if you double click will bring up the
router control panel.

voyager.home did it when we first set it up and has worked since, 'till
yesterday.

Works well, thank you so much. I am now a much happier bunny.

Nope, not a go-er. As I said, I have no local control over the unit.

When it came we simply hooked it up as per the instructions and
navigated to voyager.home, didn't even need a driver etc. I guess if I
looked in the box it'd have a setup cd which should be able to be used.
Thanks for the reply, you're a star.
