Cheapest I can find on staticIce is for $129. Other than 1 seller everyone else is selling for more than $200. It is NBN ready modem router.

I will be returning mine next week (still packed) because I am in fiber estate and I didn't realise this one accept phone line.

Pack also contains a range extender as a freebie.

up to 3 years limited warrant.

Following is what I found on other sites about it

  A note on the back of packaging suggests it's 4th port on the back can be used for WAN. I believe in that case it would work just like plain simple router and do not need to return it. Will do some more research tomorrow.

    This is a modem + router. It can be used with either FTTN (corrected by user below) or FTTP

      This will not work on FTTN without another modem, the modem contained within the VIPER is not a VDSL capable modem. I had one and it does not sync.

    You can use it with fibre. I’ve got one and use it with fibre. You reconfigure port 4 to take it. Works really well. I have another I use at my home with ADSL. I liked it so much I bought two of them.

  Thanks @scrimshaw. After posting realised on the back line saying "NBN/UFB ready - configure LAN port 4 as a wan port with Vlan tagging.

    TLDR:
    Like
    Fast transfer rates.
    Mac Pro-esque body.
    GUI good for newbies.
    Don't Like
    Basic user interface.
    Interface is overly simplified.
    Expensive.

  Owned one and using for about 18 months on ADSL 2. It has its issues with > 12 devices connected across 2.4 and 5g (needs the wifi reset every week). It hates cross device compatibility between Apple and Android devices - dhcp can be a little flakey.

  If you are happy to reboot every so often and happy with the middling range (is 'ok' for 3br house) get it (for the price above its satisfactory).

  I had one that kept needing reboots too due to freezing, returned it for direct replacement (July 2016) and now can't remember the last time I rebooted it. Even retired the repeater as no longer needed. It's not a $300 spec router but well worth the money.
