Billion UK Forum

Hiya,

I have a current setup of Airport Extreme in bridge mode, an Airport Express (to extend the wireless) and a Draytek 2830n with the wifi disabled.

I've got a 7800DXL coming tomorrow to replace the Draytek, as I want to be able to tweak the SNR - I have a VERY long line from the exchange.

My question is, will the 3100sn extend the wireless of the 7800DXL in the same way as the Airport Express does? i.e. just one visible SSID?

Reason I like the Apple kit, is that extending the wifi is seamless - only need to connect to one SSID, and coverage is great. However I would love to ditch the Apple kit if possible and go with the Billion combination

I have a suspicion that it will need to be separate SSID's on the 7800DXL and 3100sn - it has been on Draytek kit when I tried it.

Cheers!

The Bipac 3100SN should work fine in AP Client mode with Bipac 7800DXL.

Then you can match the security type eg WPA2, and security password and finally matach the SSID, then you should have only one SSID around your house, to connect too.

Thank you, just what I wanted to hear!

Replaced the Draytek with the Billion this morning, and ADSL line speed went from 1.6Mbps to 2Mbps - still rubbish, but 25% speed increase not to be sniffed at..

Have another ADSL line being put in on Wednesday, so then hopefully can get set up with some load balancing

Cheers..
