I have to do exactly the same for a friend tomorrow and I was also worried about BT's statement that the basic service doesn't support wireless or shared connections.
Can you let me know exactly what settings you had to input into the router to get it to work please?
As I remember, my friend didn't get a password so is it just a username of "firstname.lastname@btbroadband.com" and then "BT" as a password?
Also, did you need to make any router changes for PPPoE/PPPoA or anything else that needed you to change settings?
Thanks

It's very odd why they say they don't support it, very odd indeed. I can only assume it's because they want to sell their own wireless kit (they have a voy one)
Basically I set it as a PPoE, entered the username (as you specified above) the password which is BT and the VPI/VCI which I set a 0 , 38. Now I'm not sure if that is generic, but I got it from looking at the connection which I has already installed with the BT basic software than came - (internet options, connection) After that, there was no problems everything was picked up automatically, apart from some fiddling around with the firewall. All works fine.
