    Can someone explain what the USB ports are used for on routers?

    • XeKToReX on 09/01/2017 - 14:21

      Probably the most common is to use Networked storage, printers or 3/4G modems.

      • EightImmortals on 09/01/2017 - 14:22

        Incorrect. Its for flashing the firmware on the modem.

          Incorrect. XeKToReX is correct, it's for sharing printers and storage devices over the network.

    • Azmunga on 09/01/2017 - 14:23

      Well speaking for this specific example, I've got an external hard drive hooked up the modem/router and I stream to my Chromecast/Phone/Whatever. Saves me the trouble of worrying about having a proper NAS or any kind of server.

      • EightImmortals on 09/01/2017 - 14:27

        I just have my NAS plugged into one of the network ports but if you just have an external HDD I can see how they would come in handy. :)

      • anthonaut on 10/01/2017 - 09:14

        How do you stream to Chromecast from the external drive?

        • Azmunga on 10/01/2017 - 10:45
          +1

          I don't know how much you know about anything, but assuming you know nothing - the modem has DLNA support and I hook up my hard drive like they suggest - http://kb.netgear.com/20134/Using-a-NETGEAR-router-as-a-DLNA…

          I control the streaming with an app on my phone - I use BubbleUPnP. As an added bonus with BubbleUPnP you've got an option to install a server program on a PC that'll convert any unsupported video formats on the fly as you stream it to the Chromecast. It just runs in the background on a PC I have on all the time anyway and I forget it's even there.

          I should also say that I genuinely do not properly understand all the options for setting up streaming. But what I've done works flawlessly and seems reasonably uncomplicated, so eh.

      Build your own DropBox by plugging in a USB memory stick.

      Other uses include plugging in a printer to share it, or a USB cell modem card.

    Is it worth getting one of these when I'll be getting NBN in less than a year?

    • drogba on 09/01/2017 - 14:30

      I 'think' its NBN compatible unless someone wants to correct me?

    • EightImmortals on 09/01/2017 - 14:32

      Pretty sure it will work with your NBN ( to the home or to the node?) and will be much better than the bog-standard one that you would get from your ISP.

    • timoth on 09/01/2017 - 14:55

      According to the whirlpool knowledge base, this modem/router is compatible with NBN:

      • AlexF on 09/01/2017 - 15:31
        -4

        That list is for VDSL modems… Any ADSL modem is already 100% compatible with NBN FTTN/FTTB.

        • Gmetal on 09/01/2017 - 19:58
          +2

          This is very incorrect, ADSL (only) modems are not compatible when any type of NBN. Many VDSL modems are NBN compatible for FTTB/FTTN NBN, and most of those have WAN ports that allow them to function as a router for FTTP installs.

        • AlexF on 10/01/2017 - 01:48

          @Gmetal:

          This is very incorrect …

          Thank you for noticing and correcting my error.

    • mathew42 on 09/01/2017 - 14:56

      I'd wait. In 6 months time the price is likely to be cheaper. Secondly this has an ADSL modem which you don't really need.

      • AlexF on 09/01/2017 - 15:33
        +1

        Secondly this has an ADSL modem which you don't really need.

        You do need it if you're getting Ton & Mal's NBN.

        • mathew42 on 09/01/2017 - 15:57

          For FTTN you need a VDSL modem, which this is not.
          Oops, I thought this was the T-Link modem which was ADSL only.

          As for the NBN with 84% connecting at 25Mbps or less they won't be experiencing any perceptable difference between FTTN, HFC & FTTP, but there are other forums for debating how our politicians have failed us.

        • bluedez_man on 09/01/2017 - 16:00

          @mathew42: The spec's for this modem say that it is a VDSL modem?

        • rgr on 09/01/2017 - 20:28

          @mathew42: if they can't meet 25mbps for certain premises, they provision 12mbps so in a way they definitely have failed us

    • DarwinBoy on 09/01/2017 - 16:49

      Router only one will be cheaper as well. I paid a lot less on another sale. Just wait and pick one up down the track

    • ConspiracyCat on 09/01/2017 - 17:16

      Be aware that some ISP's provide modems as part of the contracts you sign with them, I'm thinking specifically of TPG, they have a Netcomm modem that they send through. This one would obviously be better but not necessarily in super noticeable ways. Might be something to consider if you are strapped for cash.

  • Jfi2ee on 09/01/2017 - 15:42

    Will this work with Telstra velocity? Such an uncommon service can hardly find info on it!

    • Elysiar on 09/01/2017 - 16:19

      Any fibre capable modem/router will work with velocity as that's what it essentially is.

        I'm assuming because it's fibre I don't need a modem and can get a router solely?

          yep… I am on telstra velocity and I have it… you just need the pppoe functionality…. BTW, we signed up to Exetel as it was slightly cheaper…

        • oogabooga on 14/01/2017 - 22:43

          @Jfi2ee: pppoe is used so your router can authenticate to the carrier's network. It will be a username and password provided by the carrier.

        Before as some firmware updates can require a reset to factory defaults.

    • Viper18 on 09/01/2017 - 17:34

      Cannot agree more with this comment. Make sure you update the firmware, otherwise there's some serious security flaws with this router.

      • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2017 - 17:53

        The D7000 wasn't vulnerable to this. (But firmware updates are good.)

        http://kb.netgear.com/000036386/CVE-2016-582384

        The D7000 was previously included in a list of models that were affected by this security vulnerability. However, NETGEAR has tested and confirmed that the D7000 is not affected by this command injection vulnerability.

  • Fergy1987 on 09/01/2017 - 16:29

    So I am getting what I believe is FTTN soon. Just wondering if this is suitable for FTTN?

    I don't even know how FTTN works haha. Its not the same as FTTP is it? - As in they don't come and install boxes etc inside, it just goes through your phone line for FTTN doesn't it? - So you would still need Modem capability?

    Also I always thought these were just routers and you still needed a modem? Is this not the case anymore?

    • Efendy on 09/01/2017 - 16:38

      No, this is a modem router for fttn. You only need this for fttn. R7000 is the router only version.

  • Efendy on 09/01/2017 - 16:36

    I have this. Used with adsl until fttn came along. Now using with Telstra nbn fttn with no dramas. Had problems with apple devices dropping wifi but turned off QoS and another feature that is on the same page as QoS and it was all fine since then. Very solid connection for us. I get 100/40 as the node across the street!

    • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2017 - 16:52

      ASUS is the better router, but not as good if you are on a long line from your exchange. The D7000's Broadcom chipset is supposedly better for longer lines.

      From Whirlpool
      The amount of features , bandwidth monitoring and limiting , cloud services , traffic analyser , 3g/4g capability and android tethering , plus the merlin firmware.

      I have the ASUS AC68U and it's just the best home router I have ever used. It's also more expensive than the R7000 (router version, no modem).

      • 4agte on 09/01/2017 - 19:13

        I agree with the above. ASUS firmware is leap years better than Netgear.

      I had the Asus DSL-AC68U modem router, as a router it was excellent, however there are apparently the modem has compatibility issues with FTTN nbn. I had major issues where every time I would connect it to my phone line it would crash my port and I would need to spend the next hour on the phone with TPG tech support. I tried it 3 times and each time it crashed my port, so I ditched it for the D7000 and it has been flawless for me.

  • Kamsi on 09/01/2017 - 17:11

    I have DSL N55U and the wireless is playing up. I'm thinking of replacing with this but I read this modem router is not user friendly when it comes to setup. And even though is NBN ready but does it really up to scratch. I'm still on ADSL currently but will eventually moving toward NBN.

  • Pedsy on 09/01/2017 - 17:35

    Will this router let me hack the NBN and run multiple connections for moar sped?

    /s

    • 4agte on 09/01/2017 - 19:18

      Yes it will convert you FTTN to FTTP. But don't waste your time with the NBN. Mine has magically connected to me to the SABRENet network and I'm still on ADSL. It's amazing.

      PS. I hope you weren't being serious

  • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2017 - 17:50

    Can someone tell me if I'm better off purchasing the modem+router or router version for someone that currently has ADSL2+ and is getting NBN FTTN this year?

    I am getting the ASUS RT-68U or the DSL-68U (modem version)

    • 4agte on 09/01/2017 - 19:21

      Really depends on your current modem router setup. I personally dislike having multiple devices so if the price difference is pretty minimum I would opt for the DSL-68U.

  • Devilius on 09/01/2017 - 18:35

    Quick question for tech savy people, I got this modem and I want to connect this to my PC wirelessly. I am thinking of getting TP-LINK's TL- WN723N or WN723N. Anyone knows which one is better between those 2? Or is there a better adapter out there in this price range? Thank you.

    • Devilius on 09/01/2017 - 21:24

    Not the first, probably not the last with these routers.
