Best. Router. Ever
filed under Gaming/PC by in5ane on October 5th, 2007 [blogs index]
I just got a Billion BiPAC 7300GA, and it's *tons* better than the D-Link POS I was using. It's syncs to my ADSL faster, and everything net-related seems to feel that bit more responsive. I've yet to try out the wireless and Xbox Live, but so far I'm very impressed :)more from in5ane

After having this router for a month now, I have experience a few oddities that reduce my enthusiasm for this model.
The web interface is OK, but can often get confused, the page will time out, and out of nowhere the router will be restarting. Not a biggie as you won't be on the config pages very often, but while you're fine tuning the settings it can be very annoying.
Restarting takes a long time as well. It often takes two minutes before the web interface is usable- very annoying if the router restarted itself, or you're restarting to try out a setting only to find it didn't work how you wanted.
After a few hours, the router also becomes unresponsive to uPnP requests, and disappears from the 'Network' window in Vista. This affects torrent downloads and is also causing my Xbox Live NAT to occasionally be 'Moderate' :(
Apart from these niggles, I have still found the Billion to be more robust than some big name routers, and still a vast improvement over my D-Link.
As expected, wireless performance of the Billion is great in my apartment, and my Xbox Live NAT is 'Open' ... yay!
