I had previously bought the fantastic Billion ADSL 2 7800N gigabit wireless router that has been absolutely fantastic, I then decided it was time to increase the wireless coverage in our three storey 120 year old house where in many areas the 7800N router is great but wanted top reception in all areas so thats the main reason in continuing my association with Billion.
This product is an access point that can be linked to your existing wireless connection and also be used as a bridge wirelessly, I found some settings that may help people set the access point up correctly. It will however show two SSID'S one for your router and the other will be the Billion wireless access point, dont worry as it will use the best connection available depending where you have positioned your wireless access point!
The product felt robust and not flimsy so I was happy with its look, some may feel its a little bulky but it fitted into a plug cleanly which is a plus point. The next task is getting the computer and access point talking together via a wired ethernet lan connection which is the hard part especially when one is pretty good at network appliances, but I have to say it wasn't easy.
What you need to do is make sure that you follow their instructions on how to implement a static IP address otherwise your unable to configure the web browser and its here that you will be making changes to the settings on the 3100SN Access point. The IP address I was given by Billion technical was 192.168.1.25 this enabled me to eventually get onto the settings page and configure the mac address of the Access point and then do the same for the wireless router, quite complex when your not a professional but got their in the end.
The following are the settings I have used on my devices and it now works properly and effectively, so if you want to increase your wireless connectivity then bellow are the settings.If you have any issues then you can ring Billion directly on 0203 372 0120 or use their technical email address[...], I hope this has been useful as this has been the only review so far. dont let the complexity put you off it would have had 5 stars apart from the settings issue.
3100SN:
- Set SSID
- Set wireless channel to 6
- Set security to WPA2 & enter key
- Set WDS to repeater mode
- Add MAC address of 7800N to WDS MAC address list
7800N:
- Set SSID
- Set security to WPA2 & enter key
- Set Wireless channel to 6
- Enable WDS
- Enter MAC address of 3100SN
Alternatively you can go to "AP Client" page, select 7800N from list & enter key at the bottom.
My channel settings are 1 so also set the access point to 1, just use the one that your currently using for your ADSL Router.
All in all a great piece of kit but it could be made easier in setting the product up better, the web browser is tricky but when you have overcome that its pretty straight forward.

Great product that was easily configured and connected to my Billion BiPAC 7800N router using WDS. However it loses a star for limitations with this popular combination. These are:
1) There is an issue with Xbox 360's (internal wireless card) which will not connect if you use WPA2 security. You have to configure it with WPA-PSK AES only.
2) This device (3100SN) has a multiple SSID option but no time control option. The 7800N is restricted to one SSID but does have a time schedule feature. Therefore it is impossible to configure a time restricted second SSID for the kids with this combination.
3) The 3100SN does not appear to act as a wireless access point if connected to the 7800N via a LAN rather than WDS. I could be incorrect as I have not gone into the issue in depth.
As long as the above issues do not affect you, it is an excellent stable product with a great range.

Once set up (with Billion BiPac 7800N) works very well. Changed from 4 star to 5 star becuase of quality support. Had to ring Billion support to get the simple instructions to set it up because the manual is very badly written. That said, the support guy was very friendly and knowledgeable and assured me that the manual is being rewritten. Before adding this product we had very limited WiFi upstairs. Now the whole house has strong signal in repeater mode.
Listmania!
