on sunday I had none of the bursts of errors which appear to come from some form of external interference,e I suspect is some kind of building/road works, as a main road not far from me they doing roadworks, and also the dentist across the road are doing massive work, they even turning some grass into a car park.

So here is what my line would look like on the 8800nl without these bursts for a day.

My Billion 8800NL ongoing 10 days so far:

Could I please as an 8800NL owner whether the WPA encryption settings have an option of TKIP only?

Looking in the manual, I can only see AES or TKIP+AES.

We have a couple of Samsung devices that play up if they get a whiff of AES.

[adslmax]

I will check that up for u. Bear with me.

It got two options: AES and TKIP+AES on the wifi security.

[aruba]

Thanks for taking the time to check that out for me. 

Not sure if the TKIP+AES setting will an issue or not, so will go do some research!

Received my device today, up and running in a couple of minutes, what an absolute delight this is to use!

My Billion 8800NL is now stable for 39 days ongoing with no DLM trigger so far. Quite happy overall with it. It's nice to have it on it own without the need of Openreach Modem.

This router isn't working out too well for me. I'm getting lower speeds than with the HG612. Attainable Rate (Kbps) says 30665, but my actual sync "Rate (Kbps)" is 20000. Attenuation (dB) is 25.0 and SNR Margin (dB) 9.6. At least for a few days after fitting the router I was getting ~27000 so not sure why it's decided to sync so low now. I've had no issues with disconnects.

It is unusual to see a snrm of 9.5 on FTTC.  I would would resync to see if it goes back to ~6.  It is however possible that you have large cross talk that comes and goes.  If you find that it reconnects at ~6 but later reverts to 9.5 again it probably means the connection dropped with the extra cross talk and it may be best to leave it, as the 9.5 may dropping to 6 from time to time -- that is better than 6 becoming 3 from time to time.

My FTTC used to start off 15dB on downstream SNR last Feb 2014 but it now steady hold on 9dB SNR. Probably will go down around 6dB next year. Who know due to crosstalk.

  If the connection is running below 80/20 then ~6 is the norm at sync on Openreach FTTC.

I am struggle with billion wireless setting.

My wifi network card support 450Mbps dual band. But, Billion if it was 20Mhz on bandwidth it will getting only 20Mbps speed (link speed was 150Mbps). If it was 20Mhz/40Mhz it only getting 40Mbps speed (link speed was 300Mbps). I did test it on Netgear DGND3700v2 wireless as it did 74Mbps speed with link speed of 300Mbps).

Why Billion 8800NL Wireless cannot getting more than 40Mbps? Does anyone find a way to get 74Mbps speed on Billion wireless setting?

   I have no trouble getting 70Mb/s throughput with a 8800NL at shortish ranges.  Wireless has so many variables - different adapters different locations different aerial orientations that it is often hard to evaluate.   Start by testing 1m away from it.  If it still only 40 it probably does not match well with the device it is connecting to.

@ les-70 - What setting are u using see my screenshot uppear. Are my setting the same as your?
