User edit 0740 9/5/13: Price adjusted. Now $129 ($29 after cashback).

Edit 1100 10/5/13: Cashback exclusion list now includes DSE. Purchase at your own risk.

Edit: Here is the reply from D-Link via email: "This new Ts and Cs only applicable for any purchases from 10/5 onward".

Edit: Here is a clearer cut-off point, straight from their again-updated terms and conditions: "Limit 1 per person per household only. Excludes Officeworks, Dick Smith, E-Bay & Unauthorised E-Tailers, applicable to all other retailers and channel and cannot coincide with any other offers. DIR-865L purchases from Dick Smith after 10/5/2013 10am AEST will not be eligible for this offer (previous purchases before 10/5/2013 10am AEST will be honoured)."

So that is it. The deal technically expire now since they no longer offer cashback for purchase from dicksmith. HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS PRICEMATCH AT JBHIFI OR HARVEY NORMAN, IF YOU CAN FIND STOCK AT DICKSMITH

Basically, the same deal at Dicksmith at http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/101972 but D-Link just have their new cashback promotion where they give $100 Cashback to purchases at ANY AUSTRALIAN STORES (except Officeworks).
I have checked dicksmith stock around Melbourne and plenty have stock.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

  • Limit 1 per person per household only. Excludes Officeworks, E-Bay & Unauthorised E-Tailers, applicable to all other retailers and channel and cannot coincide with any other offers.

      Don't think so. They check the store stock before matching the price

        Just price match at JB, I told them what the DSE lady told me. She said they don't have anymore all reserved but they have stock at another 2 stores nearby.

        So I told JB I don't want to go that far and they matched no problem.

        The one from JB with newer packaging so I think is new model or may be newer hardware.

        • Ahan on 08/05/2013 - 12:17

          You'd better upload a receipt then. Haha good job.

        • endotherm on 08/05/2013 - 21:07

          I saw the new box at JB too, it is mainly a white background whereas the two I have are a black background. I checked the serial numbers and they showed hardware version A1 and firmware 1.01 so they are exactly the same, just different packaging. I also quizzed the salesman about having a busy day price matching DSE, he showed me a message from head office saying it was an error on the DSE site and they would not match it. I told him the "mistake" has been running for a week, and DSE have been happily selling stock at $84.50, so it was not a mistake.

    Call one store, they had one left but they couldn't reserve it as they 'can't reserve clearance items', tells me that the Brookside (QLD) store has 3 left so if it gets taken I should be able to get one from there. Call up the Brookside store to confirm, they tell me they've all been reserved :(

        From other people's experiences on here with reserving at DSE, it seems it's only really 'your' router when you've paid for it and actually got in in your hands, good luck!

    • Radar on 08/05/2013 - 14:33

      Yes it is. I did this a few times and everytime when collecting, the guy/gal went to the back and bring the item with a printed sticker on. So you got one definitely unless you are not showing up within 24 hours.

  • TheSly on 08/05/2013 - 11:40

    Price matched at JB. They refused stating it was too low, but I kindly reminded them that has never occurred before in all the times I'd shopped there…which is a lot. Manager was nice enough to do it for me.

    Thanks OP.

    I sense a WDTV type delaying move on D-Links part though….time will tell if they handle it better than Western Digital did.

      Most high end routers still struggle with transfer speeds, but besides that work fine.

    • aacheney on 08/05/2013 - 11:54

      http://www.trustedreviews.com/d-link-dir-865l-ac1750-cloud-r…

      "when it came to 802.11n over 5GHz the D-Link DIR-865L's performance was again strong coming in at consistent peaks of 20MBps (160Mbit), 14MBps (112Mbit) and 12MBps (96Mbit) which sees it only slightly behind the Linksys EA6500 at two metres and 10 metres. That said at 12 metres with two solid walls in between it actually set a new high beating the 10.4MBps of Linksys' product. This also places it well ahead of the 802.11n 5GHz speeds we have seen from Netgear's R6300 and the now lagging Buffalo AirStation 1750.

      The problem is 802.11n performance over 2.4GHz is weak. Peaks of just 7MBps (56Mbit), 3MBps 24Mbit) and 0.9MBps (7.2Mbit) (below) were the best we achieved at our three distances and all fluctuated greatly which would certainly affect HD video streaming. Furthermore this not only falls well short of the 8.1MBps, 5MBps and 3.9MBps achieved by the EA6500, but also behind the best performing 802.11n 2.4GHz dedicated routers like D-Link's own D DIR-645 which is a fraction of the cost."

        The $15 is not a motivation, amusing to watch the stock drop so quickly from availabe to not/low in the newcastle area. Local ozb/tight asses mobilised with scary efficiency.

          A little too time poor for that to be worth it, I've an out and about type job so nicking in here and there is easy to do. Farting about doing a rebate and especially configuring a new router for minimal speed returns is more the issue for me.

  • pmupsinep on 08/05/2013 - 11:58

    There is no guarantee of getting the item even if its reserved as Dick Smith staff have priority access to the stock.

      • unity1 on 08/05/2013 - 12:22

        Mine was click and collect too. Why would it be different?

        • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2013 - 12:26

          Does yours say "Click and Collect" anywhere on the receipt? In any case, shouldn't make any difference in claiming cash back since both receipts are valid. :)

        • unity1 on 08/05/2013 - 12:32

          No, when I placed my click and collect order there were 2 in my basket and it wouldn't let me change it to 1. So I rang the store and told them I only wanted the one. So when I got to the store they scanned the product just like it was a normal sale. That might have been the difference but final price was only. $84.00.
