Great Bix Box service - BT voyager works well when new but.... - This started brilliantly, outperforming all previous adaptors for range by far - however, when the first one went faulty Big Box were superb with their service and replaced very quickly - six months later second unit has failed. Big Box offering refund as they don t have a suggested replacement - this is a shame as they have been superb but it would be foolhardy to try a third BT Voyager 1055 with this reliability record.
They fail easily - Like others, mine have failed. I have had two of these and both have failed after a few months. I now use another brand. There are obviously reliability issues with these - you might be lucky or you might not. Avoid.
Excellent adapter for XP & Vista - I can t comment on other people s problems but I use these and love them. If you are buying second hand make sure you get a warranty though. If there has been a bad batch then they will sooner or later end up for sale as returns, and if your seller doesn t test them or offer a warranty you could get lumbered with somebody else s junk.
There appears to be a large faulty batch - Like another of your reviewers I obtained mine from BigBox and am thankful that I did, because of their exemplary service in the light of the item and its replacement both being faulty. The first worked perfectly except that unless it was warm it was not recognised by the computer at startup unless I unplugged it and replaced it in its USB slot. The replacement adapter worked perfectly for a day and a bit, and then was dead.I then bought another at the local Argos store, hoping it would be from a different batch, but that completely died after less than two days use. Hopeless! I now have the task of finding a properly functional different make of adapter that is sufficiently compatible with my Voyager 2091 router...
Doesnt work - BT router - BT adaptor - XP - shouldnt be a problem...Worked for about two days - would not connect - tried everything - in the end sent it back - new one just wouldnt work - again tried everything - advised to return for refund....the only positive point I can make is Big Box Distributions customer care was first rate - replied promptly and without hassle.As for the adaptor - avoid
