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.
  • You must print out the final step of this on-line redemption form, signed and attached the copy of proof of purchase before posting it to D-Link. Unsigned form will be rejected.
  • All claims must be received by D-Link no later than promotion cut-off date.
  • Please allow up to 60 days to receive your cashback or bonus product on offer.

        Yup, sorry I meant losing. I was on my mobile when posting this and my mind wasn't clear at the time- was very disappointed about JB not wanting to price match :(

  • Phoebus on 08/05/2013 - 13:45

    Very nice find for those quick enough to get one.
    I'm not too upset at missing out. Will wait for a good deal on Netgear R6300 ac router. Netgear has a cashback deal occasionally.

    No stock in Vic as far as I can tell; Moonee Ponds shows "low stock" but some lucky ozb above got the last one from there.

    I was way too slow.

  • Rakddon on 08/05/2013 - 14:02

    Bankstown DSE said no stock but when i went in they just sold 1.

    JB at Bankstown wouldn't price match as below their cost.

    Got 1 at Menai though :)

    For those who bought it just for the cash … any chance of donating your router to the DD-WRT development team?

    I'm sure the community would be awefully grateful if we could get ddwrt on this router =D

      Honestly how many ozbargainers have an AC router?

      I'm assuming everyone will be using theirs..

      • ninjapanda on 08/05/2013 - 14:08

        Well I read a couple of replies (perhaps in jest) stating some were only getting it for the $15.50 … how much shipping costs may negate savings though

        • samfisher5986 on 08/05/2013 - 14:14

          Of course everyone is only getting it for $15.50, I am.

          However as its an AC router I'm going to use it at home…

    • samfisher5986 on 08/05/2013 - 14:07

      I'm assuming the solution would be to not have your administrative control panel open to the world, something you shouldn't do anyway.

      • bargain_finder on 08/05/2013 - 14:11

        Isn't remote access - cloud services the USP for this device?

        • samfisher5986 on 08/05/2013 - 14:15

          Probably but I don't think many people will use it, who wants to remote into their router out of home…

        • moolah on 08/05/2013 - 15:03

          When you're managing a home router from overseas or at work/school.
          I would setup a VPN and certificate-based access via SSH but now it's easier to just use a remote control software on a PC on the other end connected to the Internet like teamviewer which punches through most firewalls as UDP traffic is not regulated.

          I used to remote control a PC with teamviewer in uni from the comfort of my home because it had access to a development environment and servers which are resource intensive to setup in vmware in my own pc at home. They probably found it not worthwhile to block access in the firewall so they blocked access based on the installer signature many months later.

      • chipstss on 08/05/2013 - 15:29

        The attack doesn't require you to have remote administration enabled, all it requires is an active session to your router's page and then when you visit maliciouswebsite.com in the same web browser it achieves this

        changes the administrator credentials and enables remote management services.

        • samfisher5986 on 08/05/2013 - 15:36

          So definitely an exploit, just one that won't happen.

    • lplau on 08/05/2013 - 14:14

      lol, almost most routers will have this issue, if you face the config menu to the world…. They aren't the smartest of authentications, and most routers don't use SSL and just use plain text authentication to log in.

      the 865 is superior by far

      i have both

      the 825 is hampered only 2 aerials… the 865 is not

      to be honest the 865 is the fastest consumer router i've ever used

      • cuongizzle on 08/05/2013 - 14:23

        Thanks.

    • superforever on 08/05/2013 - 14:43

      How can you use a receipt no. to grab a serial code.

      I know what you mean now, somebody may go and grab a serial number from the box and use the receipt.

      Anyway we have all hide part of the receipt.

      • cuongizzle on 08/05/2013 - 14:54

        there was a full jb receipt above my post. They have now since edited their post.

        • superforever on 08/05/2013 - 15:13

          OK, BTW the one I bought from JB the serial no. is covered on the box so I think may be the same everywhere.

    Can anyone let me know if I can use this router to print wireless with my wired printer?

    • superforever on 08/05/2013 - 14:40

      Yes you can, just set it as wireless bridge and plug your printer in by cable. Of course you must already have wireless setup there.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2013 - 14:48

        Sorry for the noob question, but I am wondering if I need two computers to do this bridging thing? I only have one computer at home.

        • superforever on 08/05/2013 - 14:53

          Check the manual I haven't set it up yet but all I understand you can use it to connect to your existing WiFi like a WiFi Extender and plug your printer in to the network port.

    • ninjapanda on 08/05/2013 - 22:18

      I presume you meant a wired printer with a network port and not a wired printer with a USB port? Because this router doesn't work with USB printers unlike some.

      Otherwise what you need to do is convert this router to a wireless bridge. No additional computer is necessary. There was some discussion on how to do this earlier in the comments but generally: Set the secondary router to have the same SSID, password & channel as your primary router, disable DHCP & firewall, set IP to something that wont conflict with the primary router…. I think but I honestly don't remember. Have fun!

    • andyken on 08/05/2013 - 14:49

          3 years is pretty much the life of a router

        • googolplex on 08/05/2013 - 15:12

          True, although I do have a 4-5 year old one still going strong. Use it as a repeater for a newer router.

        • easternculture on 08/05/2013 - 15:33

          i usually buy Belkin's
          They offer Life time warranty, and when the router dies you get the newest model comparable to your. They also pay return shipping.

    PRICE MATCHED!

    I actually bought this last week from DSE for $84.50 and was feeling good about it at the time, but I felt really violated after I read this deal and found it only applied to purchases from this week. Not to be outdone, I put on my best 'professional' face and marched into the local Harvey Norman and asked for a price match (down from $299). They were only too happy to match DSE after confirming the price on the web page, for $84.00! Now I have two of these units, one will be put into bridge mode so I can actually use it at full AC to AC speed, rather than use a slower half-assed USB2 dongle at $100. So pleased with myself today :)

        Alright, ill give them a call!

        I do remember that my last click and collect took them a day or two to confirm the order…..Maybe the employees at my local store are just really lazy…

        Edit: Looks like they didn't reserve one for me.

        The guy said he would go and see if he could find one/ order one in for me, but I don't have high hopes…..
