saw that deal on my Facebook page. don't know why I can't copy the website link.
but the deal looks pretty good.
D-Link Promotional / Redemption Site
http://registration.dlink.com.au/Redemption.aspx?id=95
Connect a compatible 4G dongle to share the connection
1 x 10/100 WAN Port
Supports auto Internet failover to ensure you are always online
1 x Gigabit LAN port for high speed connection
3 x 10/00 Ethernet LAN ports
Dual Band AC1200 Wi-Fi access point
So I can't put a SIM card in it and get internet? I have to buy a separate dongle? Why would I choose this over a Optus or Telstra pocket wifi ?
This doesn't require battery power but instead runs off a mains DC power adaptor, none of that lasting up to 8 hours before a battery runs flat.
Also this router having big antennas would have way better WiFi signal range performance than those little pocket WiFi devices which probably would struggle to transmit through most walls.
We should be able to leave the battery powered ones plugged in to the charger and never run out of battery.
Can't you just leave them on charge?
This is a BYO 4G dongle. They would have been better off giving away a 4G dongle instead of a camera lol.
That deal was better.
I've got the D-Link DWR922 and although it does the job briantly, the web interface of any D-Link products is just terrible (at least products I owned from them…)
If I was in the market for one, I'd rather go for either a TL-MR3420 ($45) and use it with an existing usb dongle, or a TL-MR6400 which has a SIM Card slot.
I was previously thinking about getting this but got the Netgear Nighthawk M1 5g WiFi hotspot and the Tenda MW3 mesh network. I now get 80 Mbps throughout the whole house. I've also got a $25 Alcatel MW41 hotspot from office works as back up and get between 12 and 25 Mbps on that.
Not sure why you would buy this.
Can you get a Netgear Nighthawk M1 for say $69?. I only saw it going online for about $369 which may be way too expensive for most people. Maybe that's why people may not be buying that but instead this.
Got my NetGear Nighthawk M1 for $146 from ebay using a 20% discount code and vouchers bought for 10% off. Definitely worth the extra money.
Awesome deal!
The D-Link DCS-8000LH Mini HD Wi-Fi camera is selling for $99 at MSY.
So spending only $69 you get $168 worth of goods.
Could someone please give me an excuse to spend $69 on something I don't need?
Also the RRP on the DWR-118 alone is $149.95 and it's selling at OW for $148. But that's retail.
I can't find it on OW's website…
was going to ask for price match…
A search would have found it easily. Never mind you could still try for a price match as it is definitely sold at OW.

@hollykryten: Thanks, it showed error when I click through Google search an hour ago, not sure why…
You do get the camera, it's a Dlink redemption
But it only has 1 x Gigabit LAN port, not too good…
This is good deal, I bought DWR-118 from HN last week $99. Already submitted the form via Dlink online to claim the IP camera.
I got a problem about the download speed. My 4G dongle which is Huawei E3372 Optus unlocked, working good individually,30-60Mbps. But if 4G dongle + DWR118 working together, the download speed via DWR-118(whatever Wifi or LAN) is quite slow, around 1Mbps, upload speed is OK, 4Mbps-20Mbps. I tried Optus/Vodafone/Telstra, all same issue. I changed the APN setting followed Optus or Telstra website guide, still very slow. Even reset DWR-118, doesn't work. I think maybe this router is a faulty product.
Anybody used this 4G router before? If you can share your experience much appreciated.
Hmm… i encountered the same issue with the same Huawei E3372 usb dongle. Speed seems capped for downlink around 1Mbps, but uplink was fine (greater than 8Mbps). Maybe a bottleneck due to incompatible firmware issue.
Thanks for your reply. My workmate has a E5573，I will try that one once I grab it.
I have a same E5573. Tried it. Could not configure it as it's a standalone 4G modem and tethering via usb does not seem to work even though on the support list.
@armageddeus: My workmate's is E5577, which is not on the compatibility List. So not working.
I guess maybe my 4G dongle is E3372H-607, not on the list, and it's a HiLink firmware. I tried to flash it from Hilink to Stick mode, but failed. I will try again later.
