Introduction to your Router

The Billion BiPAC 8700NEXL R2, a multi service VDSL2/ADSL2+ Router, features fibre-ready
triple-WAN VDSL2 supports backward compatibility to ADSL2+ for a longer reach distance, an all-
in-one advanced device equipped with 802.11n (2.4GHz) 300Mbps, Gigabit EWAN, connections to
3G/4G LTE. As well as being IPv6-capable, the BiPAC 8700NEXL R2 VDSL2 router supports
super-fast fibre connections via a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. It also has one USB port, allowing the
device to act as a print server as well as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device with DLNA
(Digital Living Network Alliance) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access. Moreover, the USB port
can host a 3G/4G LTE modem connecting to the 3G/4G LTE network for Internet access. With an
array of advanced features, the Billion BiPAC 8700NEXL R2 delivers a future-proof solution for
VDSL2 connections, super-fast FTTC and ultra-speed FTTH (Fibre-To-The-Home) network
deployment and services.
Flexible Deployment Options
The BiPAC 8700NEXL R2 provides users with flexible, scalable deployment options optimized to
both reduce costs and provide the longest possible lifespan for the investment. The BiPAC
8700NEXL R2 integrates dual WAN options; a VDSL2/ADSL2+ interface and a second
10/100/1000 Ethernet WAN interface which can be used for broadband connectivity to any other
Ethernet broadband device. SOHO or small office users can even deploy the BiPAC 8700NEXL R2
for FTTx (Fiber-to-the-building, node, or home) applications over a fibre device connection.
Operators can now deploy one device to support current and future network migration.
3G/4G LTE mobility
With 3G/4G LTE-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G/4G LTE USB modem
plugged into the built-in USB port), user can access internet through 3G/4G LTE, whether you are
seated at your desk or taking a cross-country trip. The auto fail-over feature ensures optimum
connectivity and minimum interruption by quickly and smoothly connecting to a 3G/4G LTE network
in the event that you ADSL/Fibre/Cable line fails. The BiPAC 8700NEXL R2 will then automatically
reconnect to the xDSL/Fibre/Cable connection when it is restored, reducing connection costs.
These features are perfect for office situations when a constant and smooth WAN connection is
critical.
Optimal wireless performance
With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, the router delivers up to 6 times the speed of an
802.11a/b/g network device. It supports a data rate of up to 300Mbps and is also compatible with
802.11a/b/g equipment. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and Wireless
Encryption Protocol (WEP) features enhance the level of transmission security and access control
over wireless LAN. The router also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing
users to establish a secure wireless network by simply pushing a button. If your network requires
wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows you to
expand your wireless network without the need for any external wires or cables.
