BTInternet vs. Belkin Router

Installed BTInternet router (BT Voyager 220V) for a customer this morning
with the intention of then copying the settings from this into her "Belkin
Modem with Wireless-G Router Model # F5D7362-4" so that she can use the
laptop wirelessly.

However, there is no password for the login - it has to be blank - and the
Belkin just will not allow the password field to be blank.

Does anyone know any ways around this, or are we looking at a new router?

Alternatively, are there any wireless products out there that would plug
into the ethernet port of the Voyager?

instead of using the generic voyager@btinternet .com login user her own
login ((E-Mail Removed)) and anything as the password.

I ahve been able to use a dummy password before without a problem..

Thanks Gaz, but that didn't work either.

Then something else is wrong somewhere Marcus. I've been using
(E-Mail Removed) (and I really do, literally, mean the word
"anything") and just a random 8-character password for a couple of years
now. Usernames and passwords are basically redundant (at least on BT
Internet) because they authenticate the user on the ADSL telephone number
now.

(E-Mail Removed)

Hmmm... then maybe I need to find her another router. Any recommendations
for something with wireless that will definitely work with BtInternet?

I'm using a Linksys WAG54GS and have been for about 18 months now.
Rock-solid connection, no wireless dropouts and currently been up and online
for 287 days )

Not quite. As far as BTInternet are concerned, the password can be anything.

Put anything you like in there - the service doesn't care what it is.

In that's the case, then something else is wrong.

Just to clarify, this is a BTBroadband service you're trying to use - yes ?
