Billion's 6200NXL Broadband Router packs a punch

Publish date: 15 October 2010 by Tom Manners


There are many more glamorous technologies out there than routers. The truth is that this sector is vibrant and constantly changing with new innovations. This is why when Billion’s BiPac 3.75G Wireless-N Broadband Router landed on our desks, we paid special attention.

Features

As routers go, the Billion 6200NXL is relatively standard, but offers a few additional options. For one, it features two integrated USB hubs which allow users to connect to 3G networks via a dongle. This offers a great redundancy option in the event that your wired broadband fails to function. As such, it offers support for HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE and GPRS networks.

In addition, the router also offers 802.11n wireless, which delivers almost three times the coverage of the older 802.11 b/g standards and is also perfect for high-definition video streaming. WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup) support is also included. 

In terms of structure the Billion 6200NXL also features four Gigabit Ethernet connections for wired units, a reset button, power adaptor, on/off switch and aerial ports for WiMax connectivity.

Conclusion

Although it may not be particularly interesting, it’s technology like this that can change users day to day lives and online habits.

Overall the 6200NXL is a great device which can certainly offer a dependable solution to any customer. It retails for R1199, go to www.webantics.co.za to purchase.

Some nice innovations on this device. Why, though, is there no device with all features:
- ADSL
- Wireless AP
- 3G/3.5G fallover (via SIM slot)
- USB for printer, storage drives, web cam, 3G modem
- VPN
- Gigabit ethernet ports
- Dynamic DNS
- MAC and website filtering and logging
- Internet Caching
Any ideas on such a device?
