Billion BiPAC 7800NXL

Considering it also includes an ADSL2+ modem, Billion has delivered an impressive range of features at an even more impressive price point. But it's for experts only.

Review

Billion's BiPAC 7700N is a fantastic little router for those on a budget, or if you need to set your parents up with something basic. It may not handle P2P as well as its bigger brother the 7800NL, but if your needs are simple, this is temptation in a tiny package.
