    Will this work with NBN FTTC?

  • sunbro on 22/05/2018 - 21:45

    Thanks OP. My FTTN NBN getting connected this week!

    If anyone is curious the difference, I found this in my research

    http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/fttn_registered_modem_router

    Something about v1 not supporting Annex B (whatever that is) lol

  • noslappers on 22/05/2018 - 21:47

    how do you know the EB one isnt Gen 2? I just bought one today also I think I used the code PULL5 and got 5% off so free shipping

    • gunso on 22/05/2018 - 22:08

      Messaged ebgames ebay and confirmed v1

      • sunbro on 22/05/2018 - 22:19

        how will I know if the one at officeworks is v2? does it say on the box?

        • douglasac10 on 22/05/2018 - 23:19

          Yes, it will say on the label on the barcode.

        • noslappers on 29/05/2018 - 10:49

          @douglasac10:

          I just got mine delivered from EB Games and its V2 :)

    • hippo2s on 23/05/2018 - 01:22

      whats the difference between the two versions?

      • douglasac10 on 23/05/2018 - 01:24

        V2 has a slightly newer DSL chipset that apparently plays a bit nicer with FTTN NBN, but has one less USB port.

        I believe the V1 was also not available as an AU specific model, it was a EU model with the Australian power pack in the box.

        edit: the V2 also has the newer style interface and the new logo on the modem.

  • stevelo on 22/05/2018 - 22:05

    NBN FTTN will be ready end of June in my area, need a FTTN modem with VIOP (need a landline phone), will this modem work? is there any good one around on sales?

    • gunso on 22/05/2018 - 22:11

      Get the VR600V If you want VOIP

    • killergreely on 23/05/2018 - 08:57

      Just FYI…
      If you're with Telstra they'll supply a modem with voip for free (and port your local line over), if you stay with them when you change to NBN.

      How good it is depends which model you get. The Sagem ones are a bit flakey, but the Technicolor ones (like the Frontier) aren't bad at all and have 4G fallback.

      • Slippery Fish on 23/05/2018 - 09:24

        They only use the 4g backup ones now.

  • CVonC on 23/05/2018 - 05:14

    Should I bother "upgrading" from my Archer D7? It's 5GHz wireless is a pos now, even with the latest "fixed" firmware. Or maybe hunt for one of the other routers on clearance @ OW? Hmm TP-Link C2150 is $184.97 too.

    Currently on ADSL2+, FTTN has been pushed back from Jan-Jun 2018 to Jan-Jun 2019 and now it's Jul-Dec 2019 lmao! Might as well go (back) to Optus Cable tbh.

  • Tonetoro on 23/05/2018 - 09:13

    Any idea how many channels this has on 2.4GHz and 5GHz?

  • xdirex on 23/05/2018 - 09:20

    Is this the best bang for buck if I want:

    • new modem/router for my NBN FTTN connection (installing next month)
    • reliable home networking for HD video streaming, music streaming, filesharing, personal FTP,etc
    • no rebooting, dropouts, unexplained performance problems
    • wifi to fill my entire apartment

    Any better options for a similar price? Thanks!

    • cyssero on 23/05/2018 - 09:28
      +1

      Yes, it is the best bang for buck. There's nothing close I am aware of near this price.

  • Bargains4life on 23/05/2018 - 12:41

    thanks op. Bought one

  • gankmeplz on 23/05/2018 - 13:05

    my last one was Tp-Link W8980 or something … mine worked well for 3 months and then turned out to be a piece of junk ,continued using for about a year or so, had to throw it out and got an Asus which seems ok so far

    • zoner on 23/05/2018 - 13:39

      I have an 1043ND bought in 2010….it is still going strong (I also own a newer Asus)

  • Farkwit on 23/05/2018 - 13:12

    Thanks OP priced matched at office works. There was still one more left in east perth store.
    And can confirm it was V2

  • zoner on 23/05/2018 - 18:31

    Thanks OP….got the last one on the shelve at OW in Subi

    • zoner on 29/05/2018 - 14:26

      impressed with the sync rate of this unit for FttN over 230mtr….105down

  • kerryww on 25/05/2018 - 10:25

    Thanks OP. Just now got one at OW in Coffs Harbour. Price matched plus an extra 5% off bought the price down to 104.47

    Can also confirm it's a V2.

  • hexedhavoc on 25/05/2018 - 20:57

    Will be picking mine up tomorrow from OW, hopefully it is V2 :)

  • kerryww on 30/05/2018 - 11:08

    I've had a problem getting my mobile to connect to Wifi through it.

    Being a dedicated OzBargainer I use a Vernee Thor mobile phone. It runs on the ordinary vanilla flavoured Android 7. The phone kept rebooting on connection to Wifi.

    I eventually solved the problem by routing the Wifi: Archer VR600 > old DLink 2750B > Xiaomi Wifi Extender > Vernee Thor (running Android 7)

    It has solved the problem but I'm not real keen on my work around. Just in case anyone else here has the same problem with a cheap Chinese phone, the link is

      jeepers, bit of dedication here! no problem on the xioami mi5s

    • Oofy Doofy on 05/06/2018 - 20:37

      You just need to change your wifi settings. PM me and I can give you a few pointers.

  • happyadventurer on 07/06/2018 - 14:18
