Introduction to your Router

The Billion BiPAC 8700AX(L)-1600 is a multi-service VDSL2 router featuring fiber-ready triple-WAN
VDSL2 supports backward compatibility to ADSL2+for a longer reach distance, an all-in-one
advanced device including concurrent dual-band 802.11ac (5GHz) 1300Mbps and 802.11n
(2.4GHz) 300Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet, connections to 3G/4G LTE and NAS (Network Attached
Storage) in one unit. As well as being IPv6-capable, the BiPAC 8700AX(L)-1600 VDSL2 router
supports superfast fiber connections via a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. It also has one USB port,
allowing the device to act 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 8700AX(L)-1600 delivers a future-proof solution for VDSL2
connections, superfast FTTC and ultra-speed FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home) network deployment and
services.
Flexible Deployment Options
The BiPAC 8700AX(L)-1600 provides users with flexible, scalable deployment options optimized to
both reduce costs and provide the longest possible lifespan for the investment. The BiPAC
8700AX(L)-1600 integrates triple WAN options; a VDSL2/ADSL2+ interface, a 10/100/1000
Ethernet WAN interface which can be used for broadband connectivity to any other Ethernet
broadband device., as well as the 3G/4G LTE mobile connectivity. Operators can now deploy one
device to support current and future network migration.
Maximum wireless performance
Featured with simultaneous dual-band technology, the BiPAC 8700AX(L)-1600 can run both
2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands at the same time, offering ultra-fast wireless speeds of up to
1600Mbps (1300+300 )and multiple SSIDs on both bands. The BiPAC 8700AX(L)-1600, by
adopting this state-of-the-art technology, allows for multiple-demand applications, such as
streaming HD videos and multiplayer gaming simultaneously. 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.
3G/4G LTE mobility
and Always-on Connectivity
With an embedded 3G/4G LTE-based Internet connection (insert an external 3G/4G LTE USB
modem to its 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/LTE network in
the event that you ADSL/Fibre/Cable line fails. The BiPAC 8700AX(L)-1600 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.
