Btb voyager 105?

Question

thanks for your answers but bt 210 will only run with bt broadband so it says.I want a modem for my ISP who is Plus Net

Answer 1

Get a different modem, or even better get a router! The Voyagers have a lot of flaws and I wouldn't recommend them. Trust me, I used to work in BT BB faults and they were constantly getting replaced.

You can pick up ADSL routers for reasonable prices these days, it allows more control over your connection and generally future-proofs you kit for further upgrades to ADSL lines and home expansion.

I use a Netgear router, used D-Link one's in the past, but i find the Netgear option was well worth the money. For ADSL kit check out:

Answer 2

Listen here - I work for the BT BB helpdesk and any modem or router will work!
Having said that, I would recommend the Voyager 210 Router as opposed to any modem for the following reasons:
a) A V105 is not capable of the Max DSL (upto 8 meg)
b) A Router is a 'Plug & Play' device and if a BT version and connected with Ethernet rather than USB, then NO SOFTWARE needs to be installed!
c) Once a Router has a solid DSL light - that's it - go open Internet Explorer and have fun. There is no desktop connection crap! Just get onto Google and do as you wish.

Note: Some 3rd party routers may need software and configuration in order to work.

Call this number if you have any problems: 0845 600 8213 (option 2 for residential technical help).

By the way - the Voyager 210 Router can be had for £25 and put onto your phone bill, and will be delivered in 3-4 days by Royal Mail Special Delivery.
Think about it, my friend - this is good, sound, stuff.

I can only answer part of your question. The following link list the modems available with your service. I could not find any information about the modem you listed.
