Broadband problem - please help
Ok you brainy lot perhaps you can help a dim whit here.
anyway i've bought a brand spanking Dell computer which has came with Windows Vista installed, however i've just found out that my BT Broadband connection modem is a Voyager 105 - and it is not compatible with Vista.
I really dont want to take it off and install XP again so basically what options are open to me.
can anyone direct me to maybe a link where a suitable modem will work and comes with suitable drivers.
Spoke to BT and (i think) directed to a call centre in India - without being rude i just could not understand them or them me so i gave up.
Thanks in advance.
cheers
Can someone tell me if this upgraded modem will do the job?
bt voyager 210

ADSL I take?
Something like a netgear DG834G would do the job and be a lot more stable than your old modem.
Wireless Broadband Routers: DG834G

I went through this exact same move with my girlfriend's dad and a voyager 105 modem. He wasn't fussed about a router and just wanted a replacement modem for his simple use so I picked up a BT Voyager 210 for £13.99 from ebay which works perfectly.

If you get a modem with built in ethernet connection, you won't need any drivers, and you won't suffer internet speed issues when using other devices connected to USB.
