Seems like a great price on this one"
P-LINK’s Archer D7 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router is a combined wired/wireless network connection device with integrated wireless router and ADSL modem, reducing hassle of configuration and saving space and will be the perfect hub of your home or business network.
yes.
Archer D7 does not have VDSL. You need VDSL to use NBN.
not really, you only need VDSL for FTTN
You need VDSL to use NBN
You need a VDSL modem to use FTTN/FTTB. All other technologies of 'NBN' (FTTP/FTTC/HFC/Fixed Wireless/Satellite) only need a router with a WAN port.
Oh? :o
So I could even use my shitty existing modem/router for FTTC?
@havoc-aus: If it has a WAN port it should be fine, some ISP's like TPG (and the ones they own such as iiNet and Internode) require a router that can do VLAN Tagging, but they're the only ones I know of off the top of my head.
@Porthos: hmm I don't think it has a wan port xD guess I'll just buy the other modem/router from officeworks ;)
@havoc-aus: It has a LAN port that can be configured to be a WAN port if ADSL is not required. (The Archer D7 that is)
This modem has a better wifi but it doesn't support NBN FTTN/VDSL
Thanks guys, that's what I needed to know ;) My area is gonna have FTTC soon!
Lucky you, FTTC is better than FTTN I heard.
I'm surprised this is still being sold.
I purchased mine a few years ago now (great modem router by the way)
some people unfortunately are stuck on ADSL2+ FOREVER!!!!!
What's the point of an expensive router if australian internet sucks?
Bought this modem/router a while back and I have to say it is terrible for what you expect at that price range.
The 5 GHz sucked and I had constant disconnects on various devices. The firmware updates are a massive shit show as well, just look at forums.
I've gone back to my 7yo Billion 7700N and my net is more reliable.
I also bought this modem at the same time I moved into a new house ,and had constant drop outs .
I assumed it was a Telstra issue, after many painful phone conversation with their overseas Tech support , they finally agreed to send a technician to my home.
The end result was that the Telstra line was working fine , the cause was my piece of crap new TP Link modem , took it back to Officeworks and exchanged it for a Netgear , and haven't had a drop out since.
which netgear did you get?
I got the Netgear R7000P Nighthawk AC2300
Agreed Ive turned off my 5ghz in my business because of how bloody unreliable the router became. Latest firmware has fixed the problem.
They "fixed" the 5GHz drop out issue (caused by Google casting devices) with the latest beta firmware. Although it stopped the drop outs, the 5GHz network is still a pos. Hate this modem router!
I got this awhile ago. Works pretty good.
Just make sure you update the firmware. Sorted my problems out.
Plenty of discussions on whirlpool about the d7…
What about the TP-Link AC3150 ??
How would the TP-Link AC3150 compare to the Netgear Nighthawk X6?
Is this better than https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/379738 ?
