 Fast, Stable, easy to configure and advanced features. February 19, 2010

So impressed. Had it running more or less just a few clicks out of the box. Set it up on O2 LLU (ETH0A) broadband no trouble at all. I get a better SNR, web pages load much faster (whereas previously I had been thinking it was my ISP's slow DNS servers). Even my PING time has improved!
I previously wasted money (by trying to 'save money') by buying a separate gigabit switch and then attaching that to a flakey modem/router. By going 'cheap' you ALWAYS end up spending more in the long run! So I'm glad I bought this.
This just 'feels' professional (OK, it looks like a brick) but it feels solid.
As I work from home, I use VOIP for conference calls, Lotus sametime for powerpoints, while my son spends half-term break hammering the line with World of Warcraft! This box prioritises my calls (QoS) and doesn't bat an eyelid, like some other routers I've had. Many a time, I've had to reset previous routers, when they got overloaded or decided just to lose wireless connection when for no apparent reason.
The start-up screen was so easy - its even the first page the PC opened before I could even type in: 192.168.1.254! All menues are intuitive. Ok, as a man, I don't read manuals, but within 4 clicks and I was online. It even picked up the correct TIME for the event and security logs. There's loads of advanced menues, if you need them: dynamic DNS, Virtual server (port mapping, DMZ, ALG), IGMP, Wake-on-lan, time schedule, intrusion detection, UpNp, SnMp, Remote access, packet/mac/URL filtering, QoS, firmware upgrade, flash config save, the list goes on and on.
But if you want it simple, the default is BASIC and easy. No, really.
If you want super fast LAN and ADSL2+ (24mbs) internet, dazzling gigabit LAN speeds and wireless that climbs over walls, runs down the garden and tickles your toes in the garden shed - then this is for you! I wish I'd have bought this in the first place instead of wasting money.
It's Annex A hardware. Connection choices are:
1. MP0A (RFC 1483/RFC 2684, Multiprotocol, Encapsulation overAAl5) - - O2/BE use this one with VPI/VCI 0/101
2. PPP0E (RFC 2516, PPP over Ethernet)
3. PPP0A (RFC 2364 PPP over AAL5)
4. MP0A (RFC 1483/RFC 2684 Multiprotocol Encapsulation over AAl5)
5. IP0A (RFC 157, Classic IP and ARP over ATM)
6. Pure Bridge

I was looking for an ADSL router with Gigabit ports to reduce the complexity I had in my network. I had a Dlink ASDL router and an Apple Airport Extreme to give me good wireless coverage but the throughput on the wired network was capped at 100Mb between certain points.
With the new Billion I have gigabit at the core which is linking to my existing gigabit switch. This has made syncing of my Mac, Media Centre and Apple TV incredibly quick and almost instant when there are just an album of so of music.
The device itself is very easy to set up. Plug in the ASDL telephone connection, power on, point your web browser to 192.168.0.254 and you're in the setup. I chose the Easy Setup and just entered my username and password from my ISP and I was connected. It really was that quick. All the detailed setup of the DSL connection the IPS has provided were in there correctly (never the case when I had the DLink) so I'm guessing it Auto Detected.
Connection speed went from 8186kb / 1024kb on the Dlink to 12864kb / 886kb with the Billion. I've lost a little upload speed but gained a lot on the download the BBC iPlayer diagnostics confirm the results.
Wireless connections are much faster to initiate and we've had no dropouts at all and we have 6 devices connected wirelessly most of the time. Throughput is very good and although I've lost the 5Ghz frequency of the Airport Extreme the three position able ariels which come with the Billion allow me to get full coverage over the house and the studio outside. I'm very impressed.
When you're ready (if you want to) there are lots of extras in the Billion with a full firewall configuration available. I've blocked PINGs and asked it to log access attempts as well as securing to certain MAC addresses only, but there is much more in there if you need it. Certainly good enough for the small office.
I haven't tried the extra WAN port as we can't get cable, but I can't imagine it's any more difficult to install and configure.
In summary, it's a great device which is very easy to set up and get working. Wireless is great - fast and reliable. Wired connections again are fast running at 1Gbit.
Amazing Router February 6, 2010

Just a truly amazing router, ADSL speeds did sync faster with this router however, i was more impressed with it's interface speed and UPnP port mapping with Windows 7 that my other router just failed to do. The gigabit speeds made a massive difference when sending content around my network while the router has a rock steady performance and stability.
The wireless works extremely well with my laptops allowing for draft-n connectivity that my old router just could never handle however I have noticed an increase in wireless coverage with this router so far, i've found no "blind spots" in my house or even a slight drop in signal.
Overall, a very impressive feature set and a very impressive router with a modem and extra WAN port.
Amazing... August 5, 2010

What an Amazing router ! Programmed it via its default gateway, simply put i ditched a netgear dgn1000 (waste of plastic and used to love netgear) because it kept dropping the net and wireless connections with latest firmware and i needed a router with 150mbps or 300mbps Wireless-N, so flashed it with the latest firmware and it has not looked back since. Have not even needed to switch it off since. Expensive but worth it! Billion is the new netgear!
Superb - the best router I have ever had! August 4, 2010

I had a TalkTalk supplied Huawei EchoLife HG520s router before which was quite frankly pretty rubbish (but that's what you get for a free one I guess!). My ADSL line kept dropping and the wireless would intermittantly drop out too, so unfortunately this meant that TalkTalk's automated monitoring system decided to slow down my line speed to try to keep it a bit more stable... I ended up with little more than 3gig down and 500k upstream speed - not too good at all especially when the intial sync came in at nearly 8gig!
After many fruitless calls to TalkTalk trying to sort this out trying different manual line profiles etc I decided to take the plunge and get a new router myself to see what effect this would have on my overall experience. After all it couldn't be any worse than what I had been used to!
I did a lot of research and eventually decided to get this Billion BiPAC 7800N as it had both Wireless N and also the built-in ethernet switch is gigabit which gives me some added functionality for having say a NAS box in the future without needing to buy a seperate gigabit switch.
The service from Amazon was faultless as usual and delivery was very quick.
On unboxing the unit the first thing that strikes you is it's industrial looks - it's chunky and it's not going to wim any prizes for it's looks. But when you get it fired up and get into the menus etc you will quickly see that Billion have spent the money where it's really needed - on the inside!
The quick setup was very easy to use and within about 5 minutes I had both the ADSL connected and the wireless up and running. Once it was working I went through the advanced menus and was amazed at the wealth of features this router has - it is certainly well capable of running a small office let alone a household connection. I will not immediately use most of these features but it is nice to know they are there if ever needed - for example it has a secondary WAN interface which can be used for when 'Fibre to the Home' becomes available.
Having had this router in use for over a month now I can say that I am really impressed with it - my line is rock solid at 7gig down and 1gig upstream thanks to TalkTalk's automated adjustment system working in my favour now since things are so stable! The wireless N is miles better than the old 'g' standard - our house has thick dry stone walls and the coverage is five bars in every corner of every room (yes, I actually walked around with my laptop to check it!) Haven't tried to see what the full range of it is yet though as I don't really go in for the whole 'laptop in the garden' thing!
Overall this router has changed our home browsing experience from being a slow daily frustration to being a fast trouble-free pleasure.
Money well spent... and I don't have to make a weekly call to TalkTalk support any more either! Can't say any better than that!
