The Billion 7800N sold by Internode is delivered fully configured: including your ADSL username, password, and all Internode-specific settings. If you've just received your Billion router from Internode, simply follow the first section to complete the cabling setup.

If you would like to confirm the details in your router, have purchased your router elsewhere, or if you've performed a factory reset, you may also need to follow through the rest of the guide.

Billion 7800N Cabling Setup

Connection of your router will vary depending on whether you have a Standard ADSL or a Naked ADSL service.

1. Connect a phone cable from the Line or Wall Socket port on the ADSL splitter to the telephone socket on your wall.
2. Connect a phone cable from the ADSL Modem port on the splitter to the DSL port on the back of the Billion router.
   NOTE: Ensure that your cable is less than 3 metres long. Long cables can affect the performance of your service.
3. Connect your telephone to the Local Phone port on the ADSL splitter.
   NOTE: All devices connected to the ADSL line on any socket in the premises also need to be connected to an ADSL filter.
   NOTE: If you do not intend to use a phone on the same socket as the router, simply connect the router directly to the telephone socket without incorporating the ADSL splitter.
4. Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to the network card on your computer. Connect the other end to one of the Ethernet or LAN ports on the back of the router.
   NOTE: Only connect to Ethernet ports 1, 2, 3, or 4. Do not use the EWAN port in this type of setup.
5. Connect the power supply to the back of the router, and plug it into your 240v power outlet.
6. Switch on the router.

If you purchased your Billion router from Internode, your service should be ready to use. If you intend to use the wireless functions, please refer to the Billion 7800N Wireless Guide.

Configuring your Billion 7800N using 'Easy Sign-On'

If this is the first time the router is being configured, you should be presented with the 'Easy Sign-On' wizard when you first open your browser.

Note: If you would like to configure the router manually please refer to the 'Manual Setup' section below.

1. Once all cabling has been completed, open your web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc) and the 'Easy Sign-On' wizard should open.
2. Ensure 'Connect Mode' is set to ADSL.
3. Choose 'Manually' and click Next to continue.
4. Choose PPPoE as for Protocol.
5. VPI and VCI need to be set to 8/35.
6. Enter your Internode username, remember to include @internode.on.net after your username.
7. Enter your Internode Password.
8. Ensure 'Encapsulation method' is set to LLC/SNAP.
9. 'Authentication Protocol' should be set to Auto.
10. IP Address should remain as 0.0.0.0
11. Ensure 'Obtain DNS Server Automatically' is selected.
12. MTU should be set 1492
13. Click Continue (you may need to scroll down).
14. Wait for settings to be applied and test connection.

Note: If the 'Easy Sign-On' process failed to take the modem online, or if you prefer to configure the modem manually, please follow the manual setup guide below.

Configuring your Billion 7800N Manually

Step 1

• Open your preferred web browser, e.g., Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.
• Enter the following number into the address bar:
  • 192.168.1.254 (this is known as an IP Address)

Entering the IP address to access the modem

Step 2

• The Billion configuration page will open. You will be prompted for a username and password:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin
• Click the OK or Login button at the bottom of the page.

Entering the Billion access details

Step 3

• The Billion status page will be displayed. This will show details including the model of your modem, and the current firmware (the software that runs the modem) version.
• Click the WAN link in the menu to the left of the screen.

Step 4

• Ensure the WAN settings are as follows:
  • The preferred Protocol setting is PPPoA, however, if you are playing games or using applications that benefit from lower latency, you may gain a marginal improvement in ping times using the PPPoE protocol.
  • Ensure the VPI setting is 8.
  • Ensure the VCI setting is 35.
  • Ensure the IP Address remains set to 0.0.0.0. Your modem will be assigned an IP address automatically when it logs in: even if you have a static IP address.
  • Set Obtain DNS Automatically to Enable.
    NOTE: Alternatively, you may enter the Internode DNS settings: 192.231.203.132 and 192.231.203.3
  • Enter your Internode Username in the format username@internode.on.net. It is important that your username includes @internode.on.net or you will be unable to connect.
  • Enter your Internode Password.
• Click Apply when you have made your changes.

Step 5

• Once settings have been applied, you will need to click Save Config from the bottom of the page.
• The Write settings to FLASH page will display. Click Apply: the modem will save your settings.
• You should now be online.

If you are having trouble setting up the modem or would like to clarify some of the steps, please contact the Helpdesk.
