Good morning ozbargain! Been poking around today for a good ADSL2+ wireless modem to upgrade my aunt's crappy ISP provided one (yes I'm the family 'tech guy'). Spotted this great deal in the Wireless1 newsletter for one of ozbargain's favourite modems.

Interestingly, the newsletter says with promo code doubled7 the modem comes down to $139 including delivery, but when I applied it in cart it was $135! Hopefully they'll honour the orders that go though at that price so get in quick for an extra $4 saving haha :)

Modem specs (Pinched from previous deals):

  • Modem Router
  • 802.11ac Wi-Fi
  • 1.75Gbps Concurrent Dual Band
  • Strong Range
  • 2 x USB ports
  • 3 External Antennas and High Power Amplifiers
  • Full Gigabit Wired Connections
  • Interchangeable LAN/WAN Port
  • Guest Network

Have checked all the usual sites and this is the cheapest deal around. These guys have run similar deals in the past and thankfully prices haven’t gone up yet given AUD is now at ~70c. If they honour the $135 price that will be the cheapest deal I've ever seen for this modem.

The deal expires 9am on Monday.

Have a great weekend y'all :)

    looks like a good deal, cheapest on staticice is $168 excl shipping.
    If only I needed one.
    Maybe my elderly parents need an upgrade…

  • Make it so on 12/09/2015 - 11:53

    Solid router. Guest network also handy.

    • skillet on 12/09/2015 - 14:43

    • krisspy on 12/09/2015 - 14:51

      Do you get decent speeds out of the usb?

      • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2015 - 15:10

        Usb2. So… average.

        • krisspy on 12/09/2015 - 17:17

          real world speeds? Usb 2/3 on a router doesn't really matter since the best one's i've seen only read at about 15mb/s at best

        • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2015 - 17:48

          @krisspy: sounds about right for usb 2. The wireless is likely much faster than the usb.

  • Slo20 on 12/09/2015 - 12:06

    You are a champion. I have been stalking the web for the last 4 weeks waiting for a deal on d7 or d9. It seems since the drop in the Aussie dollar shops are rarely discounting them now. Any chance they had a promo code for the d9 as well?

  • Brouw3r on 12/09/2015 - 12:17

    How would this compare with the Netgear R7000? I've been waiting for a good price on one of those. I only need the router and don't need 5GHz. All I need is decent range and speeds through walls as I'll have it in the middle of my house and it needs to feed everywhere, although the "important" things will be withing 5m or so.

    • Slo20 on 12/09/2015 - 12:20
      +1

      the negative that I've read is that the 2.4Hz isn't the best, so it might be an issue if u not using 5GHz. If you only looking for a router why look at the D7 instead of the C7?

    • beaver2233 on 12/09/2015 - 12:30
      +3

      Definitely the R7000 as a router is superior.

    Hello Ozbargainers!

    Just picked up that our deal has hit the front page and wanted to let you know that we're happy to honour this deal in store if you mention Ozbargain to our floor staff!

    And although the $135 was an error on our part, we'll match that too :)

          @acek47:

          Ohhh I found out the problem.

          I asked my dad to purchase it earlier while I was still out and his card was declined because he doesn't use netbank (no netcode sms) and that counted as "one use" for the coupon so it became invalid for my account, works again when I log out and try everything from the start on a new account.

          Thanks for replying!

        • Agret on 12/09/2015 - 18:45

          @Gazette: netcode sms isn't used for online transactions it's only used for transactions through netbank to people and bpay companies not in your address book. Must've been declined for a different reason.

        • Gazette on 12/09/2015 - 19:42

          @Agret:

          It may not have been directly associated with netcode sms itself but he saw that something mentioning netbank/netcode sms was not registered on his account so he cannot proceed until he does so, and I can confirm that my dad's account is not registered for netbank and so he can't make purchases through the system that wireless1 uses.

          Although I have seen netcode sms being used for online purchases for authorization when my sister buys from certain online stores, so it's not entirely "declined for a different reason".

          It's not the first time it's happened to him and he definitely has no issues purchasing other stuff online and instores, he just doesn't want to sign up for any online banking at the moment, no matter though, I used my paypal to purchase the modem anyways.

      Can this be delivered to parcel lockers?

    • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2015 - 15:55

      Could you possibly do some deals on router+adaptor combos? I currently need at least two AC adaptors (PCI or USB) and a router at this stage.

    Bought this modem from these people - pretty sure I paid the same but might have been more - some initial sync issues with ADSL2+ but it was a firmware issue which tp-link patched and problem free ever since with ADSL2+ Fetch TV and Netflix . Occasional buffering thanks to garbage Oz bandwidth but the modem was a great upgrade from the old 8960

    • nateboy on 12/09/2015 - 18:08

    • montorola on 12/09/2015 - 15:11

      Be careful because the C9 is just a wireless router only, whereas the D7 is both an ADSL modem and wireless router in one.

      • theoddjob on 12/09/2015 - 16:43

        Scratch the code being expired. I think it was an error caused by payment timing out. Created a new account and it worked fine.

  • astero on 12/09/2015 - 16:38

    Is this the best modem+router combo on the market in this price level?

    If price was no object - would the C9 be the overall best modem+router to get or is there a better one available by another manufacturer?

    • LiMaaa on 12/09/2015 - 16:42

      The D7 is considered one of the best in its price range in terms of, stability, features, wireless range and performance. At this price, even I couldn't resist buying one.

      • astero on 13/09/2015 - 01:09

        Many thanks. Is the D9 even better when it comes to stability? Or should I just get the D7?

        My parents signed up for TPG and the 'default hardware' is utter crap. Now it's up to me to get that junk replaced with something that does the best possible job, regardless of price, so if another model costs $100 extra over the D7 but does a better job then I'll go for it.

        • scud70 on 13/09/2015 - 10:56

          Not sure how much or if the D9 is more stable but i hardly ever have to reboot my D7, not sure of the stock standard modem features from tpg, but the D7 internet auto-reconnects so they never have to reboot if the adsl drops out, i've only had to reboot to troubleshoot the wifi … :) (and to be honest it usually wasn't the modem that caused the problem).

          Its value for money but i would guess the service from tp-link wouldn't be the best if you run into issues, again ive never had to deal with them so i cant comment.

  • petros0 on 12/09/2015 - 17:08

    basically its the best modem router I have ever own , powerful wifi stable connection amazing :)
    better than my previous Billion $250ish

  • supermiikes on 12/09/2015 - 17:23

    Anyone have experience using this router on a network of 7+ connections? Any drop outs? Is the processor in this unit strong enough to handle gaming?

    • jobski on 13/09/2015 - 09:31

      We have about 10 different wifi devices connected at the same time and it handles them fine.

      • supermiikes on 13/09/2015 - 11:16

        Thanks for the reply. I ended up buying it, seems like a great buy from all the comments and reviews. Hopefully this will fix drop outs with chromecast and give improved reception for the upstairs.

  • cashless on 12/09/2015 - 17:29

    Concur with all above +ve reviews. Bought this (on OzB deal) last year. Best modem I've had in terms of continuous use. It never goes down or glitches out. I've had many, believe me, but this one just keeps on going.
    UI is crap & non-intuitive.
    Guest network is very useful.
    Signal range is pretty reasonable too & should cover most houses

    I bought a D9 2 months ago to replace a 5yo Billion. Very happy with it. I need to replace my parents' modem/router now too (I'm family tech guy too), should I buy another D9 or get this? What are the main differences?

    • scrimshaw on 13/09/2015 - 13:47
      +1

      Mainly the difference is in USB 3 ports, and beam forming. These two features aren't on the D7. The processor is also slower on the D7, but not particularly needed given it lacks Usb 3 support.

      Hardly must have features, your parents will be ok using a D7.

      If you still have the original box for your modem there is a comparison chart on the back. It lists all the features of the Archer router and the ones that are inferior to it.
