    Got one price matched at my local OW, thanks OP.

    Funnily enough when the staff member saw the OZB link he said "this is not reliable" 🤣

  • plasmapuff on 16/06/2019 - 01:34

    Price matched at OW Woolloongabba without any issues for $19 :)

  • Bunsen on 16/06/2019 - 14:53

    Also price matched @Taren point OW, local Kmart showed nil stock on website..

    Youngish sales guy was a little hesitant but put it thru anyway for $19..

      • Bunsen on 16/06/2019 - 17:35

        Just got my code, took less than 6hrs, yay…

  • 0jay on 16/06/2019 - 15:49

    Anyone know anything about accessing the SD card on these units? There's nothing in the manual and nothing I can find online so far..

    • 0jay on 16/06/2019 - 18:58

      Looks like the SD card is only accessible via USB.

  • yomamen on 16/06/2019 - 17:04

    Just got back from OW West Ryde, unfortunately they said they didnt want to price match cause the one in kmart is different than the one that they have

    • Bunsen on 16/06/2019 - 17:35

      its the same, i would've asked for a manager..

    • CVonC on 16/06/2019 - 17:43

      Lots of the place cards left at blacktown kmart if you're willing to drive

  • Zazer on 16/06/2019 - 21:14

    NO STOCK at Chatswood Chase :(

    anyone got suggestions how to still get this?

    • DarkTurtle on 20/06/2019 - 20:26

      Try Hornsby Officeworks. I just got mine and price matched too. I saw they had two left behind the cashier.

      • Zazer on 21/06/2019 - 11:26

        Yeah no problem, ended up going to North Sydney and got one :)

  • T1OOO on 17/06/2019 - 09:10

    bought this cant get over 2mbits its just terrible when my phone is doing 200mbits

    imo not fit for purpose.

    • fchis on 17/06/2019 - 11:35

      200mb/s from your data internet??

      • T1OOO on 21/06/2019 - 13:43

        yeah same sim diff device, iphone x

        • fchis on 22/06/2019 - 19:24

          Okay, makes sense then

    Did anyone get two sets of usb cables? Is a guy in China playing a joke to confuse someone?

    • Bunsen on 17/06/2019 - 14:45

      My box had 2 also…

    • fchis on 17/06/2019 - 21:59

      Yes, I thought one is for charging and the other one is for connecting to the computer lol

    • skillet on 18/06/2019 - 00:02

      Two cables for one device this is a sin.

    • FLICKIT on 21/06/2019 - 07:39

      and here I was thinking I was special :(

    • skillet on 21/06/2019 - 22:22

      I have so many chargers and cables I wish they didn't include any. That will be easily less $5. Wasteful world this is. Many powertools manufacturers do this by selling you 'skin' unit no battery no chargers.

  • Uncle Roger on 17/06/2019 - 23:23

    Can someone assist with the Kogan APN settings for this, now that I've unlocked it?

    Ive put in the following details, but cannot get internet for some reason:
    Name: VF WEB
    Dial Number: *99#
    APN: live.vodafone.com

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    • Zazer on 18/06/2019 - 10:06

      how did you put it in?

  • toyboy on 19/06/2019 - 21:33

    Does anyone know how to unlock it once I got the NCK code?

    • Easy Money on 19/06/2019 - 21:47

      Put in a non Optus networked sim and boot up, then log into the device via its webpage(//192.168.1.1), once you log in, it should ask you to enter an unlock code before it will let you access the settings

      • toyboy on 19/06/2019 - 21:48

        Thanks for your help! ;)

    • fchis on 20/06/2019 - 08:21

      By default, when you connect it to your mobile via the 4g Modem Wi-Fi signal, click on the browser and you'll be taken directly to the settings page. Password is admin and hit enter. NCK code prompt message will display maximum 10 attempts.

  • FLICKIT on 21/06/2019 - 07:41

    Free Facebook unlock code from the first page works a treat :D

  • whatabargain12 on 23/06/2019 - 20:33

    i know its a long shot but.. is it possible to receive calls/text messages via the 4g modem somehow?

    • skillet on 23/06/2019 - 23:52

      SMS yes via the web interface. No voice, it doesnt have a speaker or mic or headphone jack.

  • CoronavirusVaccine on 25/06/2019 - 10:09

    Can you turn the wifi off on this box? (not just stop broadcasting SSID, but actually completely off) I just want to tether via USB.

    • skillet on 27/06/2019 - 09:29

      USB for power only unless you learn how to write new firmware for it.

      • CVonC on 27/06/2019 - 13:02

        ?

        How does that answer his question?

        • skillet on 27/06/2019 - 22:05

          Indirectly. USB on this device is not programmed for tether, usb is only for power.

          • CVonC on 27/06/2019 - 22:45

            @skillet: But it does support usb tether?

            • skillet on 28/06/2019 - 10:09

              @CVonC: You are right in the manual it states "connect your device to the client via the USB cable". I just tried it, a USB drive appeared after drivers installed it works as a USB 4G modem.

              And yes there is option for you to turn off wifi in the settings menu.

  • raytriplej on 27/06/2019 - 22:51

    Kmart Cairns Central had a shelf price of $49 but scanned at $20. Thanks OP.

    • raytriplej on 29/06/2019 - 10:15

      Facebook unlock code worked a treat.

      Initially tried an Amaysim sim in the modem, worked fine when connecting my computer to the internet and also my Telstra TV 2, but wouldn't connect a Telstra TV 1. Could connect TTV1 to the modem but not modem to the internet. Any ideas?

  • liongalahad on 28/06/2019 - 02:04

    Does anyone know if this can be used as modem for a desktop PC (without wifi)? As in, when connected via USB, is there a way to connect the PC to internet through it?

    • skillet on 28/06/2019 - 10:34

      Yes it works as a USB 4G modem.

      • liongalahad on 04/07/2019 - 11:35

        Hi can you roughly let me know how to set it up that way? thanks

  • peterash on 28/06/2019 - 11:34

    does this have an Ethernet port?

    • fchis on 28/06/2019 - 12:46

      No
