Billion BiPAC 8800NL users on fibre
Looks that way, let us know how you get on 
I'll be moving to Fibre in a few months and this router was on my possible upgrade list so it'd be nice to know how it holds up from someone else on PN.
The only issue I see with it is that it doesn't seem to support vectoring?

So it will support vectoring once Billion see vectoring implemented.
I'm definitely grabbing one of these!

So it arrived today. I saved myself £6 in next day delivery charges too
So, out of the box:
It wasn't as easy to get set up as I had hoped. I followed instructions from the Billion forums and I could get a connection and sync, but no connection to the internet. I tried several times, then tried the easy set up. The easy set up failed several times, so I went back to manual again. The second attempt at manual set up showed a connection success.
Sync is showing as 48 down and 15 up, so happy with that :).
And this is the manual set up page. Time to sit back, relax and try to work out port forwarding now!!

What does "vectoring" mean? Note that a vector is a noun, not a verb.
Thanks for all the screenshots and pictures 
How is it so far? aside from the setup, any problems in terms of stability etc?

It's been rock solid since I put it in, no wireless dropouts and an average 38MB download through the wireless on my laptop. Happy with it so far, will test wireless range over the weekend.
Quote from: Razorback @ Marksfish Have you used the router to replace the openreach modem as well?
Yes, the OR modem has been consigned to a box
Quote from: nanotm I have the 7800dxl router and I found it much simpler to just enable upnp than use port forwarding, the up side being no limitation to the number of machines that can have forwarded ports
My webcam didn't need configuring at all. I just added the no-ip information and away it went. On Technicolr router and Sky previously, I had to faff around, this was much quicker and easier

Yes, there is a page full of figures and stuff. I can't pretend to understand what they all mean, but a screeshot shows what you are looking for (I think)
There is also what appears to be an option in the settinggs to set your own snr level too.
For a basic user like myself, there is plenty to play with (and hopefully not break)
