BT ADSL - Router installation
A question to all you boffins out there...
I am trying to install a Netgear ADSL Wireless router and it is asking for my login and password for BT Broadband.
Does anyone have clue where I get this information from - as I did not have to use anything - it just connected to the interweb and does so automatically.
Any help would be much appreciated

Although that is not my true login.
Did you not get any info via the BT Broadband starter pack?

I seem to remember having a similar problem when I installed my netgear (also on BT broadband).
I think the password is a default of 'bt'
With the username being XXX.YYY@btbroadband.com
hope that helps

If you are connected with bt, you would have something like john.smith@hg62btinternet.com and then a password that you have specified when you set up the account.
When you say you usually connected via the interweb what do you mean? does your pc have a modem that is connected to the phone line? or are you already on a network?
Give us a few more details on how you currently connect and people here should be able to help you.

I agree with you jaytc2003 I have BT broadband. The user name you state is correct, mine is very similar. I do have a log on password.
Have you ever tried to access your BT emails from another PC? You have to log in with your username and password when you do that.
When I first registered I got a number of emails saying DO NOT DELETE, giving me usernames and password.
