No, I haven't used that one.

I read this thread with great interest and subsequently purchased a Billion 5200g off ebay for the grand sum of £3 !

True enough the router would synch at 6-7db, whereas the SNR set on my line seems to currently be 15db, this resulted in me gettting a much better connection speed and my IP profile raised as a result.

I then read about the XP SP3 issues with this router (which would affect me when SP3 is deployed via auto updates) and applied the latest f/w.  This unfortunately has removed the special ability of this router and I'm back to a SNR or 15db.

Does anybody have an older f/w or link to one, that I can reflash with?

Many Thanks,
Tim

That's rough. I was thinking of applying that upgrade even though I don't need it, but I'm glad I didn't now. The router doesn't seem to have any facility to save the current firmware, otherwise I could copy mine for you. There's some firmware here and here but I don't know anything about its origin. You would need the Annex A version.

Thanks Roseway.

I had found the same version as you have given me links to, unfortunately when I try to apply that f/w I get the following message:

"ERROR: FAIL TO UPDATE DUE TO... The uploaded file was not accepted by the router."

I'm not sure if this means the file is incompatible (I have tried from a number of sources), or that you cannot downgrade to an earlier version.

Billion do have a UK office. Maybe they could help?
