What are these like? I've seen some good things mentioned about them but what about bad? The model that's caught my eye is the B7300N. How does it compare to the higher spec Linksys units quality wise? I'm looking at the WRT350N.

Thanks,

Howzit i got the Billion 7300GX - it has wireless, 3G card slot and dsl. The setup is very easy, 3G works great but mine doesnt sync my dsl line (but on my other router i have no problems what so ever) so ya im not to happy about it.

As far as I know, the Linksys WRT350N is just a router - you'd still need an adsl modem for it. The billion 7300 series includes a modem.
I'm a fan of linksys equipment, though, and if I could make a recommendation I'd say go for a Linksys router such as that, with a Netgear DG834G as its modem.
I'd personally rather get a WRT54GL than a WRT350N - you probably don't need Wireless-N, and the GL has extra memory that allows for dd-wrt or other similar linux 3rd party firmwares.
 
i would personnel stay clear of billions; had nothing but troubles with my 7300ga...

...DGL4300 + linksys am200 allot better which i have now
 
I swear by my Billion. Had the 7300G and that was brilliant...upgraded now to the 7402GXL.
The 7300N is the upgrade to the 7300G with wireless 802.11N...it offers up to 300Mbps over wireless which is fantastic.
 
I got 7300N, ADSL works fine, haven't tried Wifi thought as I don't have time. I am trying to get UPnP working on Billion and system for my P2P. Tried some tutorial but still showed not connectable on some website? Need help with this and port forwarding to improve my P2P speed.

If you enable UPnP you shouldn't need to do port forwarding at all.
I'm not sure how P2P works with UPnP, but have you enabled UPnP on your PC?
 
Well i don't have problems with my 7300G been working fine all the way :)

Yes, followed some online guide. Now I am trying to get port mapping to work. Mapping means get the incomming connection port in Torrent program to be the same as the external/internal ports on the mapping setting page?

Just do port forwarding it works the best.
