Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
The BiPAC 8800AXL is a fibre-ready ADSL2+ modem, an all-in-one advanced device integrating
Wireless-AC 1300Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet, 3G/LTE, and NAS (Network Attached Storage) in one
unit. As well as being IPv6-capable, the BiPAC 8800AXL ADSL2+ router supports super fast fibre
connections via dual-WAN connectivity through a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. Also, it also has two
USB ports, allowing the device to act as a print server as well as a NAS (Network Attached Storage)
device with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). Moreover, the USB port can host a 3G/LTE
modem connecting to the 3G/LTE network for Internet access. With an array of advanced features,
the BiPAC 8800AXL delivers a future-proof solution for ADSL2+ connections, super fast FTTC and
ultra-speed FTTH (Fibre-To-The-Home) network deployment and services
Maximum wireless performance
The fifth generation of Wi-Fi technology, 11AC delivers incredible speed and whole-home coverage
- up to three times as fast as current "N" Wi-Fi. BiPAC 8800AXL integrates 802.11n and Wireless-
AC standards supports a date rate of up to 300 Mbps within 2.4GHz band and a data rate of
1300Mbps within 5GHz wireless band, meanwhile backwards compatible with 802.11a/b/g.
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.
3G/LTE mobility and Always-on Connectivity
With 3G/LTE-based Internet connection (requires an additional 3G/LTE USB modem plugged into
the built-in USB port), user can access internet through 3G/LTE, whether you are seated at your
desk or taking a cross-country trip. The auto fail-over feature ensures optimum connectivity and
minimum interruption by quickly and smoothly connecting to a 3G/LTE network in the event that you
ADSL/Fibre/Cable line fails. The BiPAC 8800AXL will then automatically reconnect to the
xDSL/Fibre/Cable connection when it is restored, reducing connection costs. These features are
perfect for office situations when a constant and smooth WAN connection is critical.
IPv6 supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed
IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit
address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about
3.4×1038) 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.
IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address
autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing
Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the
host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the
host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).

2
Network security is integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture. Internet Protocol Security
(IPsec) was originally developed for IPv6, but found widespread optional deployment first in IPv4
(into which it was back-engineered). The IPv6 specifications mandate IPsec implementation as a
fundamental interoperability requirement.
Jumbo frames supported
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes (standard Ethernet frame) of payload.
Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9720 bytes of payload to enjoy a high-efficiency
communication in Gigabit Ethernet. Jumbo frames increase the frame size so that a certain large
amount of date can be transported with less effort, reducing CPU utilization and increasing
throughput by reducing the number of frames needing to be processed and reducing the total
overhead byte count of all frames sent.
Virtual AP
A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a
single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be
an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example,
multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and
capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different
capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously.
Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate
authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without
sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.
Web Based GUI
It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with
online help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and
manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable
Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

11 RESET After the device is powered on, press it 5 seconds or above: to restore to factory
default settings (this is used when you cannot login to the router, e.g. forgot the
password)

14
Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all
connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the
LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are all lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables. If
the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact technical
support.
Make sure you have a line filter with all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems)
connected to the same telephone line and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or
Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are
correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way
around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.
If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician
to make any necessary changes.

15
Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS / Windows 8, Windows 7 / 98 / NT /
2000 / XP / Me / Vista, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for
configuration.
Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network
adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system
manuals.
There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly
to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior
to connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through
a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP
address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC
must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253).
The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router
using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to
uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address
of the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through this router. To
configure other types of workstations, please consult your manufacturer documentation.

Connecting Your Router
Users can connect the ADSL2+ router as the following.
