Best Wireless Modem for TPG ADSL2+?

greanbean

I am using TPG ADSL2+ and live 3K away from the the nearest exchange. Is Billion 7800N still the champion and best of the best below $200?

been using Billion 7300G for a while and not impressed by its performance at all (e.g. dropouts, weak wireless signal, etc) , so a bit worried whether 7300N can really live up to its legend???

其实7800N的modem部分, 也没什么可神的. 好多几十刀的纯modem是一样的芯片.

可能距离3KM是最大的问题, 你先让TPG帮你查一下线路吧.

yes, being far from the exchange is a problem and there is nothing i can do about it... the actual distance is 2.2K but the cable is 3K in length...I've requested TPG to check the line and no fault found...so, line can be ruled out but is also in poor condition given the distance

i have now narrowed down the problem to the modem and hope 7800n is the one to solve it

but apart from asdl drop outs, i am also having a poor signal within the house, which should be directly related to the modem (7300G)

看看这个帖子吧. 7800N和7300G的modem模块用的chip不一样.

像我一样先选好地址，再选好公司，最后的路由猫就买个便宜的netcomm就好了（不过D-link风评不佳，我还是不敢用）

放到Sydney, 你堪称"房子"第二

good one but no conclusion there
1. Trendchip syhcs better than other chipset, e.g. broadcom
2. The Billion guy said both 7800n and 7300g have the trendchip, <--------- is this really true??? thought 7800 has got broadcom and hence slower

对ADSL影响最大的还是线路的质量。多一个转接口就多一点噪声。

并不存在什么最好的ADSL猫。

不过还是存在比一个更好的另一个

很多人家里的问题，换个猫就解决了

没有最好，只有更好！

7800n肯定是broadcom的芯片.
你的问题是频繁掉线, 是不是broadcom的稳定点但是速度一般点?

你看你的7300是不是支持ELAN, 就是网线作为Internet入口, 7800N支持这个, 然后找个便宜的broadcom芯片的modem试试. 如果解决问题的话, 再买个支持双频和多功能(比如带USB口)的wireless router就好了, asus的不是就不错吗, 没必要拴在7800N上. modem和无线猫分开, 两个盒子各干各的事, 也蛮好的.

另外, 这个帖子也是我随便google到的, 你在这个论坛里多搜一下吧, 7800N和7300G的讨论, 比较, 调试帖子, 都超多的.
