			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been given a router from your internet provider, I&#8217;d recommend throwing it away and replacing it with something else. Anything else. A forty quid ADSL router and modem is going to be as good as the free turd-with-ethernet-port you get in the post. Got that?</p>
<p>Most of today has been an exercise in pointlessness, by trying to follow the help pages on BT&#8217;s website to plumb in a wireless router. This has the surprising effect of allowing half of a web-page to load before completely stopping all network access, including access to the setup page so you have to do a hard reset. </p>
<p>The device gets pretty close to working, but the BT router is so unfriendly that it has the giant greasy fingerprints of engineers all over it. I can&#8217;t think of the last time I needed to access some of the functions that are listed here, but the essential function (&#8216;work with a wireless access point that my girlfriend brought on the high street&#8217;) is not there.  </p>
