PICK5

Our ADSL modem recently died, and since then we've been using a working but terrible D-Link modem until we either switched to FTTN NBN and had to get a new modem or found a suitable replacement before we switched that didn't suck at either ADSL or VDSL and didn't cost a stupid amount of money (as most seem to do). It usually goes for about $169 upwards, so getting it for under $110 is a good deal. Usually it's about $150 from Wireless1 on eBay.

This Archer VR600 seems to not totally suck at ADSL or VDSL, so that's nice, has gigabit ethernet, AC1600 wireless, external antenna as well as not looking too over the top.

Based on the specs, this is the v2 model, which has support for Annex B which means it should play nicer with NBN FTTN compared to the v1 model. Also has a Broadcom chipset so if you're on a stupid long line and on ADSL (like we are) then it should play nice with that too. You can also use it on FTTP\HFC as a wireless router if you wanted to, but you lose one of the LAN ports as that will serve as the WAN port.

More info on the TP-Link website.

EDIT: You need to add the item to your cart to get the $112.51, then you can add the PICK5 code as you checkout to get the extra discount.

Additionally, I have just gotten an email from Wireless1 saying that there is no stock currently, and it will be "a few business days delay until we can dispatch your items". They have yet to take the listing down so if you can wait, go ahead and order and they will probably ship out when the new stock arrives.

    Just a heads up with TP Link. I had an Archer D9 overheat after 1 year. Their support number doesn't get you anywhere including their email support. Terrible terrible support. No replies to my email example below.

    Greetings!

    Thanks for your contacting TP-Link Support Team. Your case has been recorded in our email system, and our engineer will contact you as soon as possible.

    Thanks,

    • mastablasta on 05/03/2018 - 13:19

      I managed to get through on their 1300 support number, also for a D9 which died on me - you just need to stay on the line.

    • douglasac10 on 05/03/2018 - 18:30

      Yeah, TP Link support isn't the greatest. When I had issues with a router a few years back I did it via email. They seem to be based in China as I'd get replies at 8pm at night, and it was generally a 24 hour wait between replies.

      In saying that, it did get sorted in the end, and it's a damn sight better than some other support I've had to deal with.

    I have this modem on FTTN connection, 460m from node. Syncs at 83600 downstream , 34500 upstream on a 100/40 plan. Solid sync that has only dropped connection once in two weeks. Interface is great, can turn off LEDs completely if desired. Good ventilation and only gets mildly warm. Very happy with it. Mine is V2 with Firmware Version:0.1.0 0.9.1 v007e.0 Build 170302 Rel.53503n

    • RedSky on 05/03/2018 - 16:42

      Mine has been very stable as well. Does get quite hot though.

  • Homr on 05/03/2018 - 13:29

    This looks like a good modem for FTTN with a built in router

    How do you get the extra 20% off on checkout?

    • WayneSpoon on 05/03/2018 - 13:40

      The extra 20% off at checkout is automatically applied
      You just put the PICK5 in the couple section

      This is actually an update to the prior one
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/354453
      but now with an even better price

      • Homr on 05/03/2018 - 13:47

        oh ok thanks.

        Any reason not to get this modem? I'm looking for a fttn modem/router for my parents house that just got NBN service ready.

        • mastablasta on 05/03/2018 - 13:54

          No, I'd say get it. I bought one for my parents too.

        • Austin 316 on 05/03/2018 - 13:57

          @mastablasta: How is it going so far at your parent's place? I also want to get this one but people have been saying there are a lot of dropouts. Hope those issues are fixed now if this is the v2?

          Please share your experience with the speed/dropouts if possible. Cheers.

        • Homr on 05/03/2018 - 14:20

          @mastablasta: Thanks

          Hoping this deal last for a few more days as I want to wait for my St George Credit Card to arrive so I can start working on the $5000 minimum spend :)

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/363419

        • mastablasta on 05/03/2018 - 15:20

          @Austin 316:

          I haven't connected it at my parent's place because their NBN hasn't been provisioned yet. However, I did have it running temporarily at my place whilst I was waiting for my Archer D9 replacement to arrive (and to replace an unreliable TG799VAC as a wireless router). Worked completely fine - no issues.

        • Austin 316 on 05/03/2018 - 15:45

          @mastablasta: Thank you :)

  • Austin 316 on 05/03/2018 - 14:01

    Does anyone know the expiry date of this deal?

  • mr_asstight on 05/03/2018 - 14:04

    works for FTTP?

      Hi mozak23,

      It's warehouse 1 who has the issue, not us. They are QLD based re-seller, see below articles:

      https://www.crn.com.au/news/online-reseller-warehouse1-goes-…

      We are based in Sydney. Thanks for pointing that out and we will clarify it for our community. =)

      Have a good day.

        can you do a killer deal on the VR2800 / Ac2800 ?

        P.S I own the VR600 V1.0 , and it's a great unit but the extra bandwidth on wireless would be nice on the VR2800.

      • Dealsclaw on 06/03/2018 - 14:10

        Hi store rep

        Can you check and confirm whether this modem support Annex B. I only need modem with Annex B support as my ISP is on Annex B. please advise

  • kirt on 05/03/2018 - 14:55

    Good deal ;)

  • Jayphen on 05/03/2018 - 17:21

    Can a VPN be run on this?

    • douglasac10 on 05/03/2018 - 18:28

      It can be a VPN server, but it can't be used as a VPN client.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/03/2018 - 20:05

    thx siver xp for correcting my comment

  • TightAssDude on 05/03/2018 - 21:15

    Which is better… This modem or the Telstra TG799vac

    • mastablasta on 06/03/2018 - 13:26

      This modem. The Telstra is not very configurable (with the exception of the remote CWMP compromise).

  • Dealsclaw on 06/03/2018 - 13:53

    can anyone confimr whether it supports annex B and is version 2

    • mastablasta on 06/03/2018 - 13:58

      The one I bought a couple of weeks back from them was v2

  • Dealsclaw on 06/03/2018 - 14:08

    but does it support annex B?

    • mastablasta on 06/03/2018 - 14:21

      Not sure OTOH - I can take a look when I get home

    • mastablasta on 10/03/2018 - 14:36

      Sorry for the delayed reply - just had a look - no Annex B option.

  • FrozenFred on 06/03/2018 - 14:34

    Looks like this is the best $100 router? If so I'm getting it!

  • Viper8 on 07/03/2018 - 12:11

    Price jacked to AU $140.63

    • hamza23 on 07/03/2018 - 13:54

      Price is the same, 20% off discount shows at checkout:

      Item (1) AU $140.63
      Postage Free
      Discount -AU $28.13
      Vouchers -AU $5.63
      Order total AU $106.87

      • Viper8 on 07/03/2018 - 13:56

        This info needs to be added to the OP then. It currently makes absolutely no mention of any 20% off discount, only a 5% off code.

        • douglasac10 on 07/03/2018 - 17:14

          Apologies, I had thought I mentioned it (but probably accidentally deleted it when trying to make it clearer). I will add directly.

        • Viper8 on 07/03/2018 - 17:33

          @douglasac10:

          Thanks. Do you know if these are Australian models or grey imports (different country code)?

        • douglasac10 on 07/03/2018 - 17:34

          @Viper8: It says Australian Stock so am assuming it's the AU model. THe other option that may come up is the EU model but not sure how widespread in Australia these are.

  • Kremleen on 21/03/2018 - 18:38

    Cheers, I've been looking for a cheapy modem that does the job. Hopefully this will last for a while.

    • douglasac10 on 21/03/2018 - 23:50

      We have gotten a good 3 or 4 years out of our previous TP Link modems, so hopefully we can get the same or better out of this one.
