7800n WiFi Settings

[Garyg124]

Hi & first I'd like to say thanks to for the help I've manage to extract from this site in preperation for my Billion 7800n router installation so I can bin my SKY fibre SR101 router (rubbish wifi)

Any how to my question, if I simply copy over my SSID & WPA2-PSK will all my wifi linked devices (mobiles, SKY HD box, laptop ETC) reconnect to the new Billion router with out any intervention?

Thanks again.

Yes they should do, just case match the channel also

Cheers, I had the SR101 on auto first then found channel 3 to be the best so I set to manual 3. I'll set it all up for that then.

Follow these steps (that's a older link for ADSL)

1. Login to the router
2. Click on 'WAN' on the left hand side ( 'Basic Menu')
3. Change the 'Main Port' to 'EWAN'
4. Change the 'Protocol' to 'Obtain a IP address automatically'
5. In 'Client ID' section enter your username followed by '|' and then your password eg username@skydsl|password
6. Click on 'Apply'
7. The router will save and reboot and you should be conncted

Fast response & great forum!

Ok router came yesterday & I set it up last night. I can confirm that using the same wireless name & key allowed all devices to reconnect with out any hassle. The Sky HD box just needed a reboot to get it connected to On Demand as it said connected to router but connection to on demand had failed.

So all good, thanks.
