For those that had their order cancelled by Kogan this is about as good as it gets for the time being.
There is another listing on Amazon for $167 but it is sold by a third party. I'd rather pay $169 for the one sold by Amazon.

Link? I can only see 2 pack
My bad, only two pack!
Can anyone suggest and two pack in the price range that supports POE?
Ubiquiti offers PoE access points, however, the price point will much higher.
@jims2020 thanks for your feedback. My research seems to be leaning towards Ubiquiti also.
You won't regret it, I bought one a couple of years ago, and still going strong. Though I wish their products were a bit competitively priced.

my bad didn't look properly
Great price OP!
How do these compare to the Tenda MW5 or MW6 systems?

No VLAN 802.1q support.

Netgear orbi RBK20 or the TP link M9 plus or M5 3pack? House is about 600sq including upstairs. Downstairs has a granny flat so it extends out quite far. FTTN with Telstra. Can only get to max 50Mbps (when right next to the modem) Goal: give stronger and stable signal to granny flat. As currently using wifi extender offen drops off signal and speed is halved to 25Mbps.
Depends on budget honestly, the M9 Plus and Orbi have more features but you will have to pay more. Personally for a 50Mbps connection I would just go with the Deco M5. You can also add any Deco down the line to your network as they are compatible. Hope this helps :)
Does this work in conjunction with your existing wifi router or does it replace it?
depending on your existing wifi router. is it another TP-Link Deco product?
It can work in AP mode or router mode. As Mesh, it can only initiate handoff to another deco AP.
It is a half decent router, we have the following and it has been 100% stable for 3 months since we purchased, there would be maybe 35 devices running off it, 3 of them being laptops on work VPNs and a real mix of cheap IOT things and high demand devices.
so far no crashes, resets, etc… good speed tests. My biggest gripe is i prefer a web interface rather than app interface but i don't spend every day adding a device to my router so not the end of the world.
My ISP provided router crashed once a day minimum.
Now similar price for DECO M5(3-PACK) from the good guys commercial, and only few dollars more.
Fantastic deal!
I can only find a $299 3-pack (unless price has now gone up)
Good Guys Commercial
Optus has recommended me the Deco range for extending out the wifi from my nokia 5g modem. Next to the modem I can get 300mbps downloads, will these be a good choice to achieve this sort of speed across my house? Its a single storey house but longer so I would be putting the two units in a line rather than a triangle spread if it makes a difference.
Anyone else on 5G have good suggestions? I currently have a tenda A12 extender but due to IP range problems it is not compatible with the nokia modem.
what connection are you on? How can you get 300m? I thought even with NbN fttp can only get up to 100m?
As stated I am on 5G not NBN. FTTP plans for 1gbps exist but not for a lot of people.
3 pack of X20 available on GG commerical still for $250, better deal.
