Netgear Wireless router and BT Broadband

I've come unstuck with this one.

I'm setting up a wireless network for a colleague, and want to install a Netgear wireless router for him.

Never having dealt with BT before, I'm struggling with the " user-name" and password elements of the setup. I understand BT Broadband doesn't use passwords, so what are the correct inputs into the Router Setup, to make it talk to the BT account?

Any help much appreciated.

(strictly speaking you do not need a password but some routers throw a wobbly if the field is empty).

Worked for me the other day,


Cheers
