Please please review the Billion BiPAC 7800. It appears to do the lot!

Still has to be better than the 160N. I had endless connection problems with it, just kept losing connection. Still happens but I'm not techy enough to fix it!

To stormN, My WAG160N works a treat. Vista laptops struggle with it but then Vista wireless is useless, but on XP or Win 7 it's stable, fast and hangs on the wall nicely:-)
