Hey guys,

Love the 8800NL as a modem, but the wireless isn't great. Just picked up an R7000. Do I need to setup anything in bridge mode, or do I just turn off wireless on the 8800NL and plug in the R7000?

Cheers

I have a similar set up - I have an apple time machine in one ethernet of my 8800 AXL and it provides the wifi - it is in bridge mode - so I assume you have to do the same.

Thanks! Any guides for setting this up? I have Sky Fiber if that helps.

Not too sure mate - you done a google search?

Ah yeah I did for the R7000. Was more so about setting up the 8800NL as it's functioning as the modem. I got the R7000 today and plugged it in and it seems to be working without changing anything, other than turning the wireless off on the 8800NL. Maybe I don't need to do anything else. The two are connected with an ethernet cable.

Yes mine is set up that way too

Another thread mentioned the guides on the Billion UK site: http://www.billion.uk.com/edu/VDSL2/index.html

I have also just purchased a R7000 which I currently have connected to a (BT Openreach) Huawei HG612 which provides no line information (unless unlocked then running a number a scripts / 3 party UI).

I'd be keen to know how you get on with running the Billion 8800NL (as VDSL Modem) together with the R7000 as I am considering replacing the Huawei with a Billion 8800NL ?

Thanks, Tech Dude.
