Yeah same question…. $320 vs $100.
I haven't compared but I've got this triple pack and it's never missed a beat throughout a 3 bedroom house. There's a number if reviews backing this up. It won't get you the 1gps speeds that Google will but who needs that speed? 4k Netflix is 15mbps and I get 80mbps throughout the house.
That’s great. Thanks. Do these need weekly reboots or anything? Would pay extra for google if it’s set and forget.
If you have a router/ap/etc that needs weekly reboots, it's broken =p
Even cheap hardware shouldn't need a reboot more than every 3-6mo.
These are pretty much set and forget. There is a setting "maintenance schedule" that is set by default to reboot at 3am every day.
The time can be changed and also the days it applies to. It can also be turned off.
Unlike these, Google WiFi doesn't send heaps of data back to China.
Can imagine how much craziness they could get up to once they know my penchant for funny cat videos 👀😳
And having data sent to the US and A any better?
Depends on what the data is and how transparent the vendor is about it. With Google you have a general idea of what happening. With the Chinese Communist Party, which all Chinese companies are 100% subservient to (on pain of coercion/death), there is no transparency whatsoever. Say what you want about the USA or Google but they're a lot more trustworthy than the Chinese Government. There's nothing controversial about that, it's just how things work over there. If you're comfortable compromising your privacy for that, that's your choice. I buy heaps of things from China but I'm reasonably careful about what it is. Specific devices, maybe. Core networking, no.
@kranix: In the end they both have access to your data was my point. Be it the US or China or Australia.
Not sure about this but if you are using a VPN, shouldn’t really matter right?@zemphism: "Data" means nothing on its own. The type and quantity of data matters. Google have a privacy policy which is subject to laws, and if they break that then they need to answer to Australian and US courts. Our three-pillar system of governance separates the judiciary from the executive and legislature. That has, over many years, created a strong level of trust. None of that exists in China. The CCCP unashamedly control everything, including supposedly 'independent' companies.
You're not seriously suggesting that the opaque and totalitarian CCCP is as trustworthy as a (mostly) transparent democracy, are you?
Putting on my network engineer hat, a VPN on one device on your network will provide limited protection if you have ceded the core networking (and hence all other devices connected to it) to an untrustworthy actor. Even if they cannot see the actual data (whether it be cat videos, online banking or your social media activity), metadata is an absolute goldmine. Especially for a government which is investing heavily in AI to reinforce a police state.
@kranix: Ok. Any idea as to how to stop these from reporting back to China.
Maybe a link as to how to?@zemphism: I looked into this earlier because I was in the market for a mesh networking system. There are comments in earlier OzB posts where people have seen the data flowing to China but could not stop it all. I ended up buying a Netgear Orbi instead. It's probably the best thing out there, but expensive.
I suggest waiting for an Orbi or Google WiFi deal. They seem to happen pretty frequently on OzB. Better than wasting your time wrestling with a device that was basically designed to snoop on you.
Great price but these are only 100Mb/s Ethernet interface so you won’t see the speeds you might want/be capable of. Google Wifi and the Tenda MW5 are gigabit.
Would this router be able to handle speed of 45Mb/s for NBN?
I got 5 of these (3 are MW6) running on NBN100.
I’m running NBN50 is this sufficient?
so MW3 is comparable with MW6? can be linked together
confirm a good budget system. being using for 2months now, 3 pks, no restart so far. getting signal everywhere.
Has speed been consistent?
I purchased the MW6 at the beginning of April.
One in front, middle and back of the house.
I can walk across the road or to the far back of my garden.
Block is 600m2 and I get full bars and full speed.
I’m only on adsl2 and with speed test I get 15 up and 1 down.
Can’t wait till I get nbn in 2 months.
Should work great I recon.
Does these comes with AU plugs or adaptors?
My MW6 came with AU adapters. Not AU plugs
These are $100 delivered now.
Difference between these and the MW5/6 comments above refer to?
Are these comparable to google wifi?
