Billion BiPAC 7800N

We've reviewed PCs smaller than this router, but this chunky grey box does plenty to justify its size and price. Billion's reputation for stability and consistent uptimes has served it well in the SME market, which makes this router attractive to...

The BiPAC 7800N is expensive but its wealth of security features and dual Ethernet and ADSL WAN ports make it a good choice for home and small office users, even without load balancing.

IPv6 support ; Good short- to mid-range wireless performance ; Good features for the price

Long range performance could be better ; Web UI could scare off networking newbies

The 7800NL is a great bargain modem/router. If you don't care about gigabit Ethernet and can't justify the dollars to upgrade to the higher level 7800N, or even if you just want to mess with IPv6, the 7800NL could be for you.

I like the specs from what I've seen, I've been looking for a modem and this modem has been given glowing reviews and I think this is the one I will get.

Just Works

Looks Fugly

I forgot to rate it. I give it a 10.

All Good

no bad

I think this review needs updating or tests need to be redone as I'm getting around 7-8MB/s (56-60Mb/s) file transfer speeds over wireless with this router! Perhaps you had a bad/faulty unit, firmware issue or your testing was flawed in some way
