help please for 2091 router

just a quick one
am trying to help a friend connect for the first time  ( set up )
when he types in the address http voyager home the box comes up he puts in his username and password and connects
but it says only to be connected with  the bt isp or words to that affect. plusnet sent this router.
I think you will find that the 2091 will only work if your ISP is BT. There is a way out of this though. It involves installing software from another router supplier as the hardware is the same.
this was taken from another forum for someone else.  any help thanks

Re: help please for 2091 router

When you opened the box with the 2091 router in, you should have had a couple of leads, and also a large sheet of paper, disguised as an "easy install" with pictures and words..... (not intended to be sarcastic)... If you follow that it should be quite easy to install..... I think you have to install using the yellow ethernet cable first, then do your wireless bit afterwards, using the code on the label on the bottom of the 2091.....
Hope that helps.... Smiley

I got mine from Plusnet........... and no problem........... I have a BT line............ Your friend???  has he a BT line?  Further than that, I think it is a case of him calling plusnet customer service direct.....

Bit of a shame that...... sometimes it is the "silly little things" like that , that give a good company a bad reputation...... and you can guarantee, that if he/she gets any more problems, this one will spring to mind immediately with an "oh no, not again"  Cry
Glad to know he/she got in touch by phone, and got it sorted though.... Smiley
