Published on: 8/2007

On test: Billion Bipac 7300G

The Billion BiPAC 7300G is a conventional ADSL 2+ router, with the usual elements – a four port Fast Ethernet switch, SPI firewall and Wi-Fi access port. Billion may be a late entrant to the UK networking market but elsewhere in the world (the antipodes in particular) it's a well-known and respected brand.

"Fritz!box 7140"

Published on: 7/2007

On test: AVM Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7140

The quirky, and we have to say slightly politically incorrect considering it's a German product, named Fritz!Box takes a scattergun approach to the market. Aiming in equal measure at home users and business, home workers and offices, it not too surprisingly struggles to satisfy them all. → More
