    Effectively $152 after cashback, great deal

    Ah.. Could have saved myself another $9, used the 5% off code the other day on this. Still $161 after $20 eftpos card is not bad.

      You and I are in the same boat. It hasn't even shipped yet. Darn.

        Yeah, only consolation was I almost got it during the click frenzy thing a week or so back for the same price but held back, so getting it with the $20 eftpos card was a bonus.

        But $9…

        • tebbybabes on 24/11/2017 - 15:56

          Goodness, that was impressive. My router arrived today. I only ordered it yesterday! I haven't even received a notification saying they've sent it out.

          I'm certainly giving credit where credit is due.

  • garylau on 24/11/2017 - 11:20

    Missed the previous deal.
    I wonder whether this router is powerful enough to cover 400 sqm, double storey house? Or I should really go for the mesh wifi like Google Wifi or Orbi.

      Depends on placement and building materials. You are probably going to need 2.

      • garylau on 24/11/2017 - 11:27

        it will sit in the study near the entrance. upstairs reception (even above the study) is pretty crap atm (telstra gateway max router).

      I think my house is about that size, and my DSL-AC68U (dsl version of this router) does a great job. As a former gateway max user, I can agree that they are absolute rubbish - I was very pleased with the results when I switched to the Asus.

      If you're in a 400sqm double story house do you really need to spend time shopping for a cheap price —> ebay coupon —> cashback offer?

      • Flamo on 24/11/2017 - 14:24

        I'd be looking for cheap everything with the mortgage repayments in mind!

        Obviously a self made millionaire, knows the value of a dollar ;)

        For the record my AC68 gives me wifi over a large house and in the back yard

    My area do not have cable nor NBN , only ADSL , does this one has a modem built in ?

    • 1bug on 24/11/2017 - 13:00

      No, RT-AC68U means it's only a Router.
      The equivalent modem/router with ADSL/VDSL Modem is the DSL-AC68U.

        thanks for the info, was just about to buy

      • Meganinja on 24/11/2017 - 16:55

        Thanks 1 bug .

    I bought this router a couple of days ago, arrived yesterday to resolve interference on the 2.4 band in my 3 story townhouse.
    I formerly had a Netgear N300 and a crappy Netcomm TPG supplied router - both had issues. Its connected on the middle floor.
    On 5G, I have 100/40 NBN FTTP and with this router, I get over 90MB in 90% of the house, lowest anywhere is about 80MB
    Looks to have resolved my issues well.

  • pitiek on 24/11/2017 - 13:39

    Hmm, bought the same router from them on the 15th. Do you reckon I can claim the cash back??

  • NEEDHELP on 24/11/2017 - 14:48

    What do these after market and better branded modems/routers have over the default factory given ones from the ISP's? Better range and connectivity? Speeds?

  • Saulami Jedi on 24/11/2017 - 14:58

    What would be a good modem to go with this router?

  • SpotTheOzzie on 24/11/2017 - 16:05

    I'm looking at replacing my existing Fritzbox 7390 - The wireless isn't that great in this apartment and I think going the ASUS may boost it.

    If I have NBN I don't require a modem do I? Just a router right?

    • 1bug on 24/11/2017 - 16:22

      It depends what NBN technology you have (eg. FTTN, HFC, FTTP, etc).

  • o lucky man on 24/11/2017 - 16:18

    The eBay listing says

    ****PLEASE NOTE: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 'FTTN' NBN CONNECTIONS****

    Why?

    • 1bug on 24/11/2017 - 16:25

      FTTN (& FTTB) requires a VDSL2 modem. This router doesn't have a built-in modem.
      However, you can run a Router behind a bridged VDSL2 modem if you already have the modem.

  • Viospeed on 24/11/2017 - 20:33

    Will this run fine on NBN HFC bridging to a Telstra router? Can I still get the VOIP to work as well? Can you run custom ROM's on this?

  • No ONE on 24/11/2017 - 21:04

    I have this modem on adsl connection and it keeps dropping the connection like hell. Tried different modem and changed settings still similar outcome.
