Introduction to your Router

The Billion BiPAC 8920AX(L) , a multi service VDSL2 Dual-lines (30a) Router over comparable

single-port model. It features fibre-ready dual-WAN VDSL2 supports backward compatibility to

ADSL2+ for a longer reach distance, an all-in-one advanced device including concurrent dual-band

802.11ac (5GHz) 1300Mbps and 802.11n (2.4GHz) 300Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet. As well as being

IPv6-capable, the BiPAC 8920AX(L) VDSL2 router supports superfast fibre connections via a

Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. It also has one USB port, allowing the device to act as a print server as

well as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) and

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access. With an array of advanced features, the Billion BiPAC

8920AX(L) delivers a future-proof solution for VDSL2 connections, superfast FTTC and ultra-speed

FTTH (Fibre-To-The-Home) network deployment and services.

Flexible Deployment Options

The BiPAC 8920AX(L) provides users with flexible, scalable deployment options optimized to both

reduce costs and provide the longest possible lifespan for the investment. The BiPAC8920AX(L)

integrates dual WAN options; a VDSL2/ADSL2+ interface and a second 10/100/1000 Ethernet

WAN interface which can be used for broadband connectivity to any other Ethernet broadband

device. Operators can now deploy one device to support current and future network migration.

Maximum wireless performance

Featured with simultaneous dual-band technology, the BiPAC 8920AX(L) can run both 2.4GHz and

5GHz frequency bands at the same time, offering ultra-fast wireless speeds of up to 1600Mbps

(1300+300 )and multiple SSIDs on both bands. The BiPAC 8920AX(L), by adopting this state-of-

the-art technology, allows for multiple-demand applications, such as streaming HD videos and

multiplayer gaming simultaneously. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and

Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) features enhance the level of transmission security and access

control over wireless LAN. The router also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard,

allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by simply pushing a button. If your network

requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows

you to expand your wireless network without the need for any external wires or cables.

Experience Gigabit

The BiPAC 8920AX(L) has five Gigabit LAN ports and port #5 can be configured as an Ethernet

WAN port. This EWAN offers another broadband connectivity option for connecting to a cable, DSL,

fibre modem. The BiPAC8920AX(L) again offers users convenience and optimal network

performance with data rates reaching up to 1Gbps.

IPv6 supported

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that i

s designed to succeed

IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This result

s from the use of a 128-bit

address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2

128

(about

3.4×10

) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic

and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread

deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.
