Advantages: Reliable and easy to use. Can override over-zealous BT settings on ADSLMax Disadvantages: Likes to reconnect if sees too many errors on the line. Insecure initial router login.
...on my telephone line that BT initially kept blaming on my Netgear router (despite me having tried 2 of them), so I decided to buy an new router, this time based on the Broadcom 6348 chipset (reasoning for this later). As BT did a router based on this I thought I would make it harder for them to blame the product by buying one with their badge on it, so into my house came the BT Voyager 2110 wireless router.
