$15 at MSY, was $22. It is $19 at a number of other stores for those that don’t live near or don’t like MSY.

  just curious, what is the difference between a normal router and a wireless router?

    Obviously a wireless router adds wireless capability to connect to wireless devices. Which a normal router doesn't include.

    A router connects two different phy networks. A wifi router connects a wlan to a phy network.

  No gigabit on either of its two ethernet ports

  So the '300mbps' wifi is gonna be throttled by your 100mbps max input speed lol

    The 300mbps wifi will probably give you a throughput of 60mbps in real life :) This is still below the WAN speed.

      WiFi speeds are almost as deceptive and misleading as the private sector's internet speeds in Australia.

      WiFi has the excuse of being wireless.

        Wifi speeds are rated under ideal conditions.

        John with 4 brick walls is going to get different speeds to Jane and her studio unit.

    Found this article "Learn Exactly How "Fast" a Wi-Fi Network Can Move". Not sure how acurate it is but does give a fair idea the differences between theoretical vs actual wi-fi speeds.

  I have a few similar Tp-link 10/100 wireless N (TL-MR3420) routers I picked up cheap. Mainly use these is to connect devices with 100mb lan only connections such as PVR & Blu-ray player in bridge mode to our home network access point wirelessly. Where it is impractical to install ethernet cable. Theoretically doubling the speed of the old 802.11g 54 Mbps wireless router I had before usung and maxing out the 100mb connection.

  i was just googling for other options, and I find out that bunnings sell networking gear under 'smart home', with a 10% price beat guarantee. e.g. bunnings sell TL-WR840N which is also at officeworks for $47. anyone pitted officeworks against bunnings before?
