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 Free IP Camera Redemption

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 :)

    What is the difference between Archer D9 and Archer VR900
    http://www.tp-link.com/resources/simulator/Archer%20VR900(UN)1.0/index.htm

    • raydragon on 04/10/2015 - 22:21

      Probably not a lot of difference between them interface wise, but the VR900 has VDSL support (not of much use in Australia) and also 3G/4G support, which to be honest seems like it should have been included on the D9 as it's fairly common on some of the competitive brands, especially at the mid-high end.

  • R3XNebular on 04/10/2015 - 16:32

    Bought the D7 for $142. What is more stable or reliable? or is the only difference is power range

  • TieNN89 on 04/10/2015 - 18:40

    What's the wireless range like on this? compared to the ASUS DSL-AC68U?

    Was waiting for the ASUS to get discounted but it seems they never will :(

  • skillet on 04/10/2015 - 22:21

    This router modem has an adapter that output 12V at 3.3A which means it may consume more(due to SMPS efficiency) than 39.6 Watts at full load. So you might want to think twice before upgrading if your old router modem uses less wattage as these devices run 24x7 may have a tiny impact on your electricity bills. However it may also use less power during idle or light loads, I am not sure I need to measure it.

    The latest firmware updates the UI which looks sleek and this modem router is blazing fast in terms of data delivery and also web controls and management. Super rock stable too. I have setup a few with one at a client's site serving 45 employees with wired and wireless connections. It is much more capable than an usual home router modem due to higher processing power.

    Buyers also note that this modem router brand TPLink is straight from China, so some suspect that it has firmware made for the spy at Chinese government, you may want to consider installing one of the open source modem router firmware such as OpenWRT. This may or may not be true, perhaps competitors is spreading wild rumors to weaken sales.

    • R3XNebular on 05/10/2015 - 21:47
      +2

      Highly doubt that the firmware is made to "spy". Some nerds would of found out. The public would rip TP-Link a new one if that was the case.

      • NFS on 06/10/2015 - 15:47

        They just wait for the USA to spy on you then hack all the data from them.
        :P

    I guess ASUS might be better. What is cheapest DSL-AC-68U ?

    • nakedposition on 05/10/2015 - 14:31

      You could get the ASUS RT with a separate modem ~$30 or so, so wouldn't make the price as much.

  • pinkchick on 05/10/2015 - 19:32

    Hi does anyone know if I can use it with BigPond ADSL? My equipment is 3 years old and my kids (4 of) are always complaining about the lag/freezing??

    • 1bug on 05/10/2015 - 19:51
      +2

      Yes, you can use the modem with any ADSL internet service.

      Your old equipment may not necessarily be causing the lagging/freezing problems (3 years is not very old). Other possible factors include distance from exchange, noise on the line, ADSL filters, WiFi interference, etc).

      • pinkchick on 05/10/2015 - 20:20

          My order is still showing as Processing, but now the auspost tracking number is showing that parcel is in transit (processed through Chullora NSW at 11am). I'm thinking I should have it in Melbourne tomorrow (fingers crossed).

  • tokyo on 07/10/2015 - 12:20

    So does anyone know if this actually is a VDSL modem? I asked my ISP and they say I will ned a VDSL modem. Bought this modem router because it said it was "Suitable for ADSL/2/2+ and NBN"

    • Major Mess on 08/10/2015 - 11:09
      +1

      You have answered your own question. ie no mention of VDSL. You will need configure the applicable ethernet port from LAN to WAN and connect that to a VDSL modem, to take full advantage of the TP Link's features.

    Hey everyone,

    Thank you for all the orders! I apologise on being behind schedule for dispatchment because of larger than expected order quantity as well as having to payment check each one. However in saying that we managed to dispatch 90% of orders yesterday, with the final 10% of all orders dispatched today despite having a very small packing team :)

    Honestly, we were quite taken aback with how much support you have all shown us, and we hope to be able to bring you more deals like this in the future (so keep your eyes peeled for our specials)!

    If you have any concerns or issues with your order feel free to PM me or just post it in this thread and I will do my best to respond to your enquiries in a timely fashion.

      Hi rep, what are the chances of having a replacement psu shipped to me express? My modem came with a dead psu, I tested a 12v 1a psu (underpowered) with it and it turned on, the one in the box does not, super bummed.

      • AssociatedExpiredTofu @ Wireless 1 on 14/10/2015 - 20:21

  • rotoman20b on 09/10/2015 - 07:09

    As this is my first TP-Link device, I thought of testing this modem/router. 2.4ghz is very stable on all devices (Apple/Non-Apple). 5.0ghz has been super flakey. How is everyone else liking it so far??

        Very good point! Do the firmware before configuring the router. I spent 15 ish mins setting it all up then noticed a firmware update… it kept some of my settings but not all.
        :)

        On another note, this router is rocking my jocks!

        • rotoman20b on 26/10/2015 - 21:08

          Very impressed.. especially after updating the D9 to Firmware Version: 0.9.1 0.1 v0041.0 Build 150826 Rel.42046n. I have been running for over a week with no dropouts at all on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

          One thing I have noticed after updating the D9 with new firmware is that it does not show how long the router has been on or connected.

          Thanks for the advice scrimshaw..

    • x d on 25/10/2015 - 19:19

      Have to say super impressed with it. I was running a TP-Link W8960N on the top floor. The signal was too weak for my desktop 15 m on the bottom floor and my ASUS Air media player about another 5 m away was unusable.

      With this unit, I have disabled the 5.0 gHz and just running 2.4 at 50% and all is great.

      Today, I took my girls out to the park at the front of our house. I was even able to surf the net on my Lumia 1520 from the park with the line of site being probably 50-60 metres away!!! (not sure if this is good for security though :-(((

      Amazing.

      Cheers.

  • marquise on 15/10/2015 - 11:53

    Set this up last night. Found that I was getting very slightly slower ADSL2+ speeds than my old Billion 7404, but my modem equipment area looks a lot neater now with just one device.

    I was previously using a C7 with firewall rules to block Google DNS specifically to my Chromecast and Roku3. After upgrading the firmware on the D9 there didn't seem to be a spot to put these rules in, so I had to just put in an overall static route for Google DNS.

    I was a bit worried as after multiple reboots of the D9 and my devices, Netflix/Hulu was not working on my Roku3 or my Android phone.

    However, today everything is working again, so strange. Maybe the Netflix apps need to try the Google DNS multiple times before it decides it can't reach them and then default to your supplied DNS settings?
