I am looking to replace my NetCommWireless N300 WiFi Gigabit Router (got it from my TPG NBN provider 4 years ago). I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 other heavy user (we mainly use the internet for streaming, gaming).
Any recommendations on what is good out in the market? My budget is $100-$170
Thanks! :)
Isn't this just a router? I thought OP wanted a modem router?
OP wants modem, but only needs router.
Not sure why the negs.
It's true the OP has a Modem+Router (2-in-1) device. And they asked for a replacement. If they have an NBN box, that means it is the modem and they only need a Router.
What Rumbaar was suggesting (i think) was actually the ASUS DSL-AC68U. It has an inbuilt ADSL Modem, and is very similar to the "Router-only" model. It's usually $50-$100 more expensive for this than the Router-only model. And where the Router has VPN built-in and can be jailbroken, I'm pretty sure the ASUS DSL-AC68U cannot. So I guess buyer beware.
Here's a link to the first eBay that came up, for $125.
OP - what type of NBN connection?
Hi Everyone, sorry to takeover OP's post.
I'm also looking for a new router for my NBN connection (FTTC). Was looking at the google nest since my house is pretty big, about 4 rooms and my room is the furthest away from the router. However, I'm also open to other routers budget is $200-350.
Nest wifi isn't suitable with all ISPs. Who are you with?
Aussie broadband, it's part of their package so it'll be compatible
Yeah it is. Add these routers to your research list.
TP-Link Deco M5 Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi Router System $188-299
AmpliFi HD WiFi Router by Ubiquiti Labs $299
AmpliFi Instant WiFi Router System by Ubiquiti Labs $329
@Twix: Do you know if the netgear orbi AC2200 is compatible? I would like connect my computer with an ethernet cable to the nod.
ASUS RT-AC68U, you can get an opened never used one for $150-170 and an unopened one for $200-225 (lower during eBay deals). It has a great number of features and all round capabilities.
