Hi Ozbargainers,
Just found NETGEAR Smart WiFi Router AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit (R6300v2) on Amazon for US $49.97 with US $12.22 delivery, which is considering RRP was around AUD $170-190 and they are still for sale for A$150+ on eBay looks like an amazing price for this EOL but still very capable router with great community support.
Edit: Price went up to US$ 55.28, still a bargain in my opinion.
Description from Amazon page:
- AC1750 WiFi 450 + 1300 Mbps speeds for updating your network to get 3x the performance as compared to 11n.
- Dual Core 800Mhz Processor, and 256MB RAM – plenty of horsepower to handle 12 or more WiFi devices seamlessly
- Ultimate wireless coverage for large homes with simultaneous dual-band WiFi
- Share your USB drive and printer with all devices on the network using ReadySHARE and genie software with USB2.0 and USB3.0 ports (10x faster than USB 2.0).
- Stream in HD throughout your house with Beamforming+ for faster, more reliable connections

Pay in USD with cards like 28 Degrees (A$77.64) or Bankwest Platinum to avoid currency conversion and foreign merchant fees and don't forget about Cashrewards as well, I did.
I wonder if it comes with a US power adapter only or if it's one of those power adapters which you can change with different countries power plugs.
