The BT thing ( a BT1801) is about 3 times the size of the netgear and constructed of shiny black plastic - looks like a cow turd to be honest. Poking about in the menu structure I can't find a MAC address filtering option either. On the other hand if it lets me listen to music and the Netgear won't then it'll be the Spamcan Towers access point from now on.
The Netgear is about 3 years old and has been in continuous use, apart from our random power cuts / brown outs and a brief burst of >300V on the mains a while ago, always comes back up and connects no problems. Never had any problems until now, when I'm trying to do something a bit more complicated than normal.
edit: looks just like this one:-
