Billion 7800N -early thoughts

might be some bargains to be had on these soon as Billion have 2 new 7800 series modem/routers hitting stores this week (7800DXL and 7800VDOX)
 
To be honest i only got one as it gives you the ability to tweak the SNR margin being on a crappy line i only get 2mb BB. By tweaking the SNR down to about 5.8-6db from sky's default 7db SNR i manage to get nearly 3mb woooooooooooo

Has some nice features i like to use like being able to use the 7800n as a VPN server comes in handy but not sure what the sky FTTC router is like. I have their crappy adsl Sagmcom collecting dust hopefully their FTTC router would be better than that
 
Hi,

Has anyone had problems with the router where the Wifi signal and speed will decrease dramatically when moving between different rooms for example on my laptop I can get a solid 60mbps when I'm right next to the router but if I move to another room I only get around 20-30mbps, as for the my iPhone 5 this can be anything from 20mbps to 4mpbs but when thats right next to the router it gets 40mbps. I have tried all the channels but this has not resolved it.

Just wondering what else I can try? Would it be worth considering purchasing the Billion BiPac 3100SN 300 Mbps Wireless-N Wall Plug Access Point Repeater ?


Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thanks for your response,

I have just tried setting it up to the same as yours but unfortunately this has not made any difference. I have also tried changing the beacon interval but this has not worked either.
