      • TScott on 30/04/2011 - 12:22

        Same here. But mine was a belkin modem/router for N adsl2+. The thing was light, grey, ugly—it looked like a prototype. And it was cheap as. Like 60 bucks from MSY. I bought it home, set it up. It worked, but then it kept on dropping signals. So, i updated the firmware. Then it stopped doing that, but still it did drop signals randomly (but less common). Its wireless range was terrible. I am talking about me being upstairs and the router downstairs, and it picked the signal up as being low. =S So, I used it for about 1 month, and kept on getting terrible speeds like 5-6kb/s downloads on ADSL2+. So went back for refund. Got my 63 dollars back (60 for the modem, 3 for the crap ritmo splitter/filter). Then I went to buy the TP-LINK W8960N, after receiving some advice from a friend who said it was cheap, looks awesome and works awesome.So i spared an extra 6 bucks and got that. And FINALLY I'm getting speeds at 20mb/s downloads. And, it even came with all the accessories such as a genuine adsl2+ splitter/filter. Phew! I would NEVER EVER touch another Belkin. Even when u ring up to ask for support, they keep on telling u to do one of two things. That is, factory reset, OR restart. Buyer Beware! Don't be attracted by Belkin's router or router/modem's cheap prices! U get what you pay.

        • rack on 30/04/2011 - 20:34

          so true. The support does nothing then to ask you the above 2 mentioned. In the end they send you another modem.

          We use eParcel instead.

          why would someone want to pay more than 99c extra to track a 99c item ????

        • ScaryZombie on 29/04/2011 - 14:34

          actually i think tracking is $1.50 extra according to Auspost. though i agree that shipping kills this deal, especially since most devices are now starting to support wireless N. though their shipping cost may include handling costs as well, though I still dont see how this could be an extra $5-ish, especially if you're using you're own parcel satchels.

          but i don't know much about eParcels, is their cost (or included services) somehow significantly different to a normal parcel? do you get volume discounts or special prices from Auspost for using them?

    • topstuff on 29/04/2011 - 13:25

      At best it has 8MB RAM and 2MB Flash, DD-WRT would be useless with that i would think.
      I wouldn't touch Belkin to begin with, any model.

  • Bappy on 29/04/2011 - 13:27

    Not sure about the model (this one is G Series), but the deal is almost same as http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/38408 (Model was N Series)

    A big DISLIKE for the $15 shipping cost unless you send this in a gold plated box.
    Why don't change your deal and say $15.99 with free shipping?
    Or its Tax / GST related?

    Anyway, still $15.99 is a good deal for a Belkin Wireless Router

      • Store Rephello @ Clearance of the Day on 29/04/2011 - 13:39

        G. I think G is slower than N. But G is enough for me to view online movies. So I am ok with G.

        • perhapscwk on 29/04/2011 - 15:05

          N coverage, speed > G

          G maximum 54mbps.
          N maximum between 150mbps-300mbps.

      • ScaryZombie on 29/04/2011 - 14:11
        +1

        N is faster and has a wider range than G. However, you must be careful with N as there are two different band frequencies that it uses. One is 2.4Ghz and the other 5Ghz. Not all devices support both bands, a router/modem that supports both usually has the word "dual band" in its name or description, otherwise its generally 2.4Ghz. Most N devices are usually 2.4Ghz as well, though some people prefer using the 5Ghz as there's less interference on that frequency (e.g. cordless phones use 2.4Ghz i think).

        Oh and then to make things even more confusing, the transfer speed can either have a theoretical maximum of 150Mbps or 300Mbps. I think this would depend on whether they have multi antenna. Though of course, I don't think any device is able to transfer at the theoretical maximum, despite what they advertise.

    • bashar20 on 29/04/2011 - 13:36

      N is faster than G. if you have N devices.

      • Crownanchor on 29/04/2011 - 17:19

        The problem with this router with N is its not a proper implimentation of the N draft standard and requires other Belkin N products to get the benefit of N like speed/range. You probably dont want to use N, and G is the way to go.

        It has nothing to do with taxes.

        • lazed on 29/04/2011 - 13:58

          How does it work if they sell the product for less than what they purchased it wholesale for? Can they claim depreciation on the items sitting around in the warehouse or selling it at a loss (99c) ?

      Boxes, satchels, bubble wrap and postage materials are not free. Neither is the time is takes someone to package the item and address it.

      If they charged you only what it cost to post the item then they would lose money.

      Their postage should be around the same as ours because of it's size.
      So it s a matter of G VS N and
      $0.99 VS $9.95.

      • UFO on 29/04/2011 - 16:10

        if you're selling an item for 99c and needs packing, lining up at a post office to register it, and someone's time to do it all, I think $15 is very reasonable.

          aussie post charge $6.30 for a 500g satchel and $10.70 for a 3kg satchel, so they are obviously making money on the postage…

        • manbearpig on 29/04/2011 - 18:00

          Seeing as they'd need to use the 3kg satchel, that means they're making $4.30 extra. BIG WHOOP! From the sounds of it, you'd rather they not have the deal at all than see them make $4.30. You obviously don't use eBay enough. These guys aren't the only ones in the world charging more than the actual postage cost. If you'd rather not shop with these guys, I'd recommend shoppingsquare. They don't make money off postage at all :)

        • skinny on 29/04/2011 - 19:05

        Sheesh… it's under $16. They choose for marketing reasons to price it at 99c, why do YOU care whether they make $5 profit on postage or $5 profit on the item? It makes absoultely ZERO difference to you, so why whine about it?

    Well I've just ordered one of these as I need a spare router.

    While creating an account - If you get a captcha error it will keep rejecting until you actually refresh the page! Tried firefox and IE and had the same problem until i manually hit F5 to refresh and it went through first go.

    Also they dont take AMEX

    Will wait and see how it goes!

      Based on the poor attitude of the Rep here, i hope you don't have any problems with your order…

    I don't understand all the attitude here. OK so $15 is slightly more than the $10.70 their eparcel costs, but someone actually hs to handle it for one thing, and it's still dirt cheap.

    If you need a g router I am sure this one would do the job.

    In the end though, your still getting this router for 16 bucks rather then 40-50 on ebay.

    Think the price shipped is very reasonable. Excellent for getting on the web and not requiring speed between multiple N devices. Would be great for the mum-in-law's iPad.
