CCRAPFAST

UPDATE: The Wireless1 guys have agreed to extend this deal to Monday midnight. Enjoy :)

Good morning OzBargain - our favourite router has returned!

The Story
Inspired by legendary tightarse’s great work, and the number of requests for D9 on my previous D7 post I have spent the last 2 Thursday night’s ignoring my girlfriend’s requests for shopping and instead nagging/negotiating (nagotiating?) the guys at Wireless1 to do this for the best price ever. It wasn’t an easy feat given the tanking AUD which crossed into 69c again last Thursday, but I hope you guys like this deal.

The Deal
Presenting the TP-Link Archer D9 Modem Router WITH Free Shipping AND Bonus Wireless Night Vision IP Camera (new model NC-220 by redemption) for $198 after applying the code CCRAPFAST in cart. There is no option for pickup online but they have agreed to this for us. The secret handshake is mentioning you are from OzBargain and saying the code :) You can then pay cash/credit and collect right away - of course Camera is still by redemption so you have to wait for that.

Needless to say, as part of the ‘nagotiations’ I have done my usual checks and this is the cheapest price going (ever?). In fact just tested the code and while we agreed at $198 it’s showing as $197.99 so save yourself 1c before that’s fixed lol.

For coverage, speed and stability at this price point, the D9 can’t be beaten. Feel free to google around for reviews, it’s very well received. The free day/night wireless IP camera just sweetens the deal. The NC-220 is a brand new model and I couldn’t find many reviews but if the previous NC-200 is anything to go by it should be pretty good. According to specs it connects at 300Mbps and has real-time H.264 compression so am very keen to test it. Seems to retail around the $70 mark and if it doesn’t catch your fancy then offload on eBay/Gumtree for a further $50 or so 'cashback' on this great router!

The Specifications
Router product page here and specs below for the lazy among us :)

  • Modem Router
  • 802.11ac Wi-Fi
  • 1.9Gbps Concurrent Dual Band - AC1900
  • Strong Range
  • 2 x USB ports (1 x 3.0 and 1 x 2.0)
  • 3 External Antennas and High Power Amplifiers
  • Beamforming technology with Strong Range
  • Full Gigabit Wired Connections
  • Interchangeable LAN/WAN Port
  • WPS Button
  • Wi-Fi On/Off Button
  • Guest Network
  • Suitable for ADSL/2/2+ and NBN
  • 3 Year Warranty

The Free IP Camera Redemption
Directly through TP-Link here for purchases between 1st October 2015 and 30th November 2015. Don't forget to redeem!

The Expiry
Deal will end at midnight on Sunday - I have asked them to extend till Monday midnight as the long weekend is on with most of us out. Will update the deal if they agree.

The Thanks
Thanks to the guys at Wireless1 for agreeing to this deal. Felt a bit creepy/stalkerish hanging around your shop for so many hours while we nutted this out but everyone was very friendly :)

I think I managed to put together a decent deal for our community. Have a great weekend y’all!

The End :)

      +1

      That Asus deal is a router only. This is a modem router so has the added functionality of a modem as well. In terms of router performance, Asus makes great stuff but all things considered including the free cam, I would say this is the better deal for sure.

    • l005e on 03/10/2015 - 12:12

      I have used TP-Link hardware in the past and found it to be quite poor.
      I would recommend Asus over it.

      • ccrap on 03/10/2015 - 13:29

        Fair. Which one did you try? Btw I like Asus too and my rt-n56u is a brilliant workhorse - but try the D7 or D9, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

      • thepigs on 03/10/2015 - 15:46

        Agreed. I have had the TL-WR1043ND for a couple of years. Needs a restart every couple of weeks. Not sure I would buy TP-Link again.

      • redcreek200 on 03/10/2015 - 17:54

        I've had this same router for several months from an earlier deal here. Best router I've had.

        Extremely reliable - never gets turned off so it's had a fair test. Wifi coverage is excellent. By far the best coverage I've had compared to other routers.

    • scrimshaw on 03/10/2015 - 13:56

      I use this only as a router only since I now have NBN services. It's fttp so the ADSL function is turned off.

      This is an amazing device, regardless of the fact that it does double duty as a modem and router. Firmware and wireless connection is very stable and I've never had to reset it. Uptime 5 months and counting…

      The only downside is that being an ADSL modem router there is no way of changing the firmware to an open source one like DD WRT.

      • aec on 03/10/2015 - 18:37

        so this is compatible with NBN?

        • scrimshaw on 03/10/2015 - 19:29

      • TheContact on 03/10/2015 - 11:54

        I didn't get an email either. It's a generic code from what I can remember when someone here posted it and what I found right at the bottom of "my ebay" page.

        I believe when you shop logged in on ebay, it gives you the regular price and the price minus the $50 with a find out how link. It did fo me, at least once.

        This is all on the desktop site. My app shows nothing and same for the mobile site.

      +2

      I remember those on internode! Yes it would be. For starters the D9 has 11AC, gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0. At my place we have lots of gadgets (and therefore connections) and the bulk of content consumption has also shifted significantly to streaming in the last 5 years. The D9's hardware (and new firmware) are much better at this type of usage assuming yours is similar. The additional bells and whistles features like guest networking etc over the fritz would just be icing.

      Hi there vash12,

      According to CNET the read speed is 23.26 Mbps and write speed is 13.41 Mbps using this setup: "Storage was tested over gigabit LAN with a SanDisk Extreme NTFS formatted 64GB USB 3.0 drive plugged into the fastest USB slot, transferring a 100MB file via SMB."

      Comparatively it falls far behind the Asus DSL-AC68U (which has a going price of $288.75) and the Linksys XAC1200 ($219)

      I hope this answers your question :)

      • x d on 04/10/2015 - 16:09

        Can I also ask if the HDD goes into sleep mode if it is not accessed for a little while? I would like to put a HDD into the USB port to share media files but don't want it to be on 24/7.

        Currently have multiple HDDs connected to various media players around the house but would like to streamline these into one.

    Got this from them previously. Wireless1 was no hassle to buy from. TP link tried to deny that there was a bonus offer on an NC200, although when prompted they 'sent it anyway to make me happy'…

    Would have liked the nc220 but the nc200 was what was available at the time :) NC200 only missing night vision. But I don't think there's good baby monitoring software anyway, which was the main reason I wanted night vision. Oh well.

      Hi onebee,

      This is pulled from the manufacturer datasheet, supports "VPN Passthrough: PPTP, L2TP, IPSec Passthrough".

      Media found on a USB plugged into the back can be discovered via DLNA (supported devices and apps only)

      • onebee on 03/10/2015 - 20:34

        Thank you for reply. I mean is PPTP server. Not VPN passthrough. There is not too much home router with original firmware will support PPTP server.

        For DLNA maybe you are right.

      Hi btdroppedbox,

      If you are after a decent and cheap IP camera I would suggest the TP-Link NC200 (current going price $34.99).

      Unfortunately it does not have night vision like the NC220 that you get through the Archer D9 redemption, but it is still a great IP camera for it's price.

        Hi,

        I am running a TP LINK W8960N at the moment (http://www.msy.com.au/qld/slackscreek/peripherals/5947-tp-li…). I have replaced one of the antenna with a 10 dBi antenna. The range is quite good with the replaced antenna (can connect 20 metres away through the ceiling). It is also quite stable. However, I am having trouble with my ASUS O PLay Air Media Player getting consistent speed though I am not sure if it is the ASUS unit or the router is at issues as other devices are fine at longer distances.

        A newer unit from TP LINK now has USB port - http://www.msy.com.au/qld/slackscreek/peripherals/5953-tp-li…

        The D9 is 4 x the price, and I am wondering if it would be worth the cost.

    How does this compare with the Netgear R7000?

      That doesn't have a modem (not for ADSL). You will need a seperate modem unless you're on FTTP NBN.

      You might want to compare it against the Asus RT-AC68U. These two are within the $200 price point, and have very similar features.

      (there's also a $25 cashback on the ASUS, making it cheaper than the R7000)

    This has a Boradcom chipset in it, unlike the Asus, which are great if you're on a long line (think over few kms from the exchange). Something to consider if you're looking to purchase.

    Honestly how is this brand comparing to Asus? For my personal preference, have always opted for asus for their support and reliability, albeit paying more. For an example, asus pce-ac68 wireless Windows 10 driver has officially rolled out where as tplink t9e pce card still pending Windows 10 release, my point is, asus support seems quite proactive with regards to rolling out updates.

      Just in case you are actually serious… Yes it is.
      What operating system you are running has no effect on the router, not sure why you would think it does..
