I have been looking for a new modem/router with MIMO and came across this eBay deal with promo code.
Couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else, these usually go for $300+ as far as I am aware.

AC2800 Wireless MU-MIMO VDSL/ADSL Modem Router (NBN Compatible)

  • The Fastest VDSL Modem Router – The Archer VR2800 runs at 2167Mbps on 5GHz and 600Mbps on 2.4GHz
  • 1GHz dual-core CPU – Broadcom 1GHz dual-core CPU with two co-processors keeps VR2800 running at peak performance
  • TP-Link Tether App – TP-Link Tether app helps you set up and manage your Archer VR2800 from any Android or iOS device.

Hopefully the limited 3-year TP-Link warranty applies to this..?

    Fantastic router, switched to this when I finally got NBN 5 months ago. Connected to VDSL 100/40, great wifi range

    Are there any better sub-$300 routers than this? Gotta buy one in the next week.

      *modem/routers to be clear

      I would stay away from TPLink at that price and go an Asus such as the dsl-ac3100 which can be had for 290 on ebay. TPLink software is very bad if you start using all features and don't really update software very much. Asus is a different story. Have both so can compare.

        Answer: Update the software

        • RandomBob84 on 21/11/2019 - 10:14

          Yeah, would be an answer if TPlink provided a software update…

          TPLink latest software available for this router

          Also the UI in insansly better on the Asus. Something like QoS is so simple on the asus, and almost not worth it on the TPlink.

          • Lps on 21/11/2019 - 10:31

            @RandomBob84: Ah, fair enough. I just wish the Asus wasn't so ugly, I prefer the cleaner design Of the TP. Perhaps I'll hold off and give it some thought.

              @Lps: I. Updated my tp link vr900

              Who's decision was it remove bandwidth monitoring by ip address?

              Or is there a way to bring it back I don't know about

        So you choose your routers based on UI..? Trust me there are much worse interfaces out there, and the old software update file is a good sign, meaning there have not been any issues since that date. The router you posted doesn't even support MIMO which is why its $100 cheaper, and honestly it wouldn't even come close to the wifi range of the one posted.

          MIMO is more through put rather than range. Range is the power the antenna put out, mimo is max throughput.
          And mimo is max throughput for combined devices, rather than a single device.
          Its not only the UI, but the actual functionality. If all you want is basic router with wireless, go for the TPlink.
          If you actually want to use a fair few of the advertised functions such as VPN and QoS (no vpn server on the TPLink too) then you may have to log a ticket with TPlink support as the feature may not work without a fix. As i have found out with two different TPLink models in the last year. Yet all features of the Asus work out of the box.

          As i said, depends if you want to use all the features.
          And yes the UI makes a difference if you plan to use QoS and monitor your home network.
