Hi my 7800n is on it's way out so need to replace it , all I need is something for adsl ( not much chance of fibre coming my way ) on a longline that isn't great + good wireless . So I suppose what I'm asking is what's the most basic model ( cheapest ) that would be up to this ? cheers

Our entry level device is the Bipac 8800NL R2.

Attached is the data sheet for the device

that looks ideal assuming it will work on our not very good 58 attenuation cheers I'll look in to it

I've ordered the 8800nl r2 but was wondering when making alteration to the settings does it have to reboot like the 7800n does ?

No reboot needed, when making a SNR change the line will drop and then re-sync

Thanks yet again do I have to register the router for warranty cover ? because I can't find anything about it in the paper work with the router

sorry one more thing in the firmware section how can I tell the latest for the R2 , this one is 2.50a.d11 cheers

thanks for the link ,I've already found and updated so it is connecting now but not as well as I was expecting sync is no better than the not very good plusnet router made some alteration ( unticked most of the connection options ) and it does seem a bit better but we'll see how it settles in . The error counts seem high . Cheers
