    I don't know much about networking…

    i just bought the TP link mesh deco m5 deal just then…

    Would this router be helpful to replace my Archer VR1600v (came with internet). Currently with NBN FTTN.

    I have a colourbond shed 20m at the back of the house i want to have wifi and also stronger signal in the bedrooms.

    Would this router plus deco m5 be a good combo?

    Or just the mesh plugged to my current router be sufficient.

    note: my pc is connected to ethernet to router and my tv which streams 4k netflix is very close to router. Those are my main usages.

    Cheers in advance

      Neither the Deco M5 or Xiaomi will replace the VR1600v. Plug in the Deco M5 or Xiaomi into the VR1600v and turn on bridge mode on the VR1600v.

      Yeah Twix is right. You still need a modem which is your VR1600v.

      But you can use a separate router in bridge mode.

      Here is a guide on how to do it. Another person above wanted to know the same thing.

  • rvw on 20/03/2021 - 12:28

    Does anyone know if this router supports the VoIP phone service that I subscribe to as part of my FTTC NBN package(Aussie broadband) ?
    (Sorry I’m a tech noob)
    I have the white box provided by NBN and the AussieBB router is connected to it. Can I just swap out the AussieBB router and plug this in it’s place(including the VoIP phone)?
    Thanks!!

    • AssociatedPCByte CS @ PCByte on 20/03/2021 - 12:52

      Hi drvw,
      You won't be able to run VoIP services through this router unfortunately.

      If you want you can connect the Mi Router to your Aussie Broadband, and use it as a wireless access point for your WiFi devices. While keeping your VoIP connected to the Aussie Broadband router.

    • emoticon on 20/03/2021 - 12:55

      You can replace your current modem/router but the Xiaomi router doesn’t support voip out of the box.

      I am assuming you have a regular phone handset?. What you will need to do is order an ata voip phone adapter from Aussie Broadband, they will configure all the settings for you just give them your account details when you call.

      Grandstream HT812 VoIP Phone Adapter is what they sell.

      Once you receive it, you plug your phone into the voip adapter and plug the voip adapter into a spare port on your Xiaomi router. That’s all you have to do, it should then work automatically. It’s very simple to do.

  • autolux on 20/03/2021 - 12:31

    seems like it'll run open-wrt…. but what about other stuff?

    need to move from an asus running merlin-wrt with diversion ad blocking and skynet firewall amongst other stuff… is that pretty standard under normal open-wrt?

  • Watanabe1995 on 20/03/2021 - 12:35

    great price!
    but I don't need one now.

    if you buy two,can build a mesh AX3600 network(updat the firmware?),only cost $200!
    I think one asus or netgear mesh cost more than this

  • Chriss on 20/03/2021 - 12:44

    Had to return mine got it from AliExpress . Streaming movies on wifi from my server was the worst . Was even outperformed by the free router from Exetel.

    • GreenRomeo on 20/03/2021 - 13:00

      I think this is an important point. For a router the stability and load is more important than fancy specs imho. My guess is many people jumping on this deal who don’t have more than 100Mbps internet will not get much benefit, if at all, from this router compared to their current ones, unless the old one is really bad.

  • WeatySmalls on 20/03/2021 - 12:47

  • beebul on 20/03/2021 - 12:53

    Would this be an upgrade over a Nighthawk R700P using on iiNet NBN HFC… just have a weak spot in one room in the house. Currently using an extender.

    Lack of USB is annoying tho…

    Any shipping costs to SA?

    • vodamerc on 20/03/2021 - 13:09

      *R7000P. Also interested in any similar experiences though, I have the same router currently.

      • walaj on 20/03/2021 - 13:18

        Same. Although my issue with the R7000P is that it isn't very stable - I need to reboot it about once a week as it seems to stuggle with the number of devices I have (70+ over gigE and wifi, and two additional generic APs via ethernet)

        • walaj on 20/03/2021 - 15:03

          took risk, ordered, made it.

    • Twix on 20/03/2021 - 15:45

      Xiaomi Mi won't work out the box if your iiNet NBN is using VLAN 802.1q. Purchase Asus and TP-Link if you want USB ports and need ISP compatibility with VLAN 802.1q.

      • beebul on 21/03/2021 - 03:32

        How do find out if my NBN is using VLAN 802.1q?

        • Twix on 21/03/2021 - 13:27

          Login to the Nighthawk and check if VLAN is enabled.

  • Strahany on 20/03/2021 - 12:57

  • xyzed on 20/03/2021 - 12:59

    Woah. Just signed with Superloop and got the eero. However location of NBN NTD (HFC to premise) is opposite end of the house. Was thinking of getting a cable run, however will 2 of these work by using the ethernet port to the computer and then 'wifi' to the other AX3600 with Gigabit speed?

  • snipercat on 20/03/2021 - 13:04

    I have the Telstra SMG2 white box and currently have 1000/50 plan but naturally can’t get anywhere near this on wifi one room away behind a brick wall.

    Will going AX help get better speed as I can not route cable for Ethernet so need a solid wifi solution for one PC only and maybe phone.

    Will need to upgrade the internal Pcie card as well I assume to get most benefit? Perhaps external antenna closer to the doorway would help too?

    • Twix on 20/03/2021 - 15:47

      Wi-Fi 6 will help increase speed. You need a internal Wi-Fi 6 PCIe adapter for the PC and a phone with Wi-Fi 6 built in.

              Step 2: wait at least 30 minutes.
              Step 3: uninstall and reinstall Tenda Wi-Fi.
              Step 4: reset the MW3 to default.
              Step 5: plug in the MW3 to the NCD.
              Step 6: configure the MW3 with Tenda Wi-Fi.

    • emoticon on 20/03/2021 - 14:27

      Yeah from context I believe OP meant they originally had 300 units ear marked for this deal but then added an additional 50 units after the original 300 allocation was sold out/ozbargained but can’t afford to sell anymore than that at this price.

      So I think they sold 350 units of this router.

        trying myself, when factored in with shipping and GST comes to exactly $137.26 usd (same as in title);

  • Garbotoxin on 25/03/2021 - 17:56

    Got mine today, very happy with this. Didn't boost my internet speeds (knew it wouldn't, my old RT-AC68U wasn't that bad anyway and could easily handle whatever speeds NBN throws at it), but way better wifi coverage and being able to achieve a gigabit connection over wifi 6 is great for $99.

    QoS is definitely a bit primitive compared to other routers on the market, but I think the price justifies this.
