Yes, you shouldn't have any problem there at all. Its got an inbuilt ethernet port that will hook to your switch, and if DHCP server is enabled on the voyager and your workstations are all DHCP clients then they will all get IP addresses from the voyager.

One slight possible complication depends on the switch you connect. Switch to switch connections are usually (supposed) to use 'crossover' patch cables, where a couple of the connections are reversed with respect to an ordinary ('straight-through') patch cable. However, often these days switches can sense whether a port should be crossed or not. But this does depend on the switch. If you connect them both together with a standard patch cable and get no link light, I'd try a crossover cable.

Bear in mind that the web interface on the Voyager is initially a little fiddly to use. They prefer you to install the management software that comes on the CD, and this (IIRC) means on a Windows machine.
When this is done, though, any web browser should do to manage it. Its not a bad little router, IMHO.

BTW: FAO Paultech. The 220V is a router, not a modem. I'm looking at one right now and yep, its a router all right.

Here's a picture on the BT website to familiarise yourself:

nope, u would need to get a router, if u want to share the connection eg internet. since the voager modem is a adsl modem. that uses usb.
i would advise a netgear dg834g or something above.

Hmm. stable alternatives. the guy without guy (Clint Eastwood) - Sergio Leone's money trilogy Mad Max (Mel Gibson) - The Mad Max trilogy "Snake" Plisken (Kurt Russell) - get away from manhattan and get away from L.A. Wez, from the line Warrior, gets an honorable point out. So does The Terminator.

dunno. think u should b able 2.

an ex-mate of mine has a BT router, and my honest opinion is that they are a total load of sh!t.

you are best off buying a proper router. i use a D-LINK DSLG604T

it is an ADSL modem router, Wireless with a 4port built in ethernet.

i might curse it but it is a diamond. never let me down. turned out to be a problem with our line, which BT sorted out after 9 months of us pestering them.

BT routers are useless, they are designed to work on 2 computers.

get one which is designed for networking.
