    I have never heard of this brand. So still comes down to $38 incl. shipping. Rather go for a branded (e.g. Netgear) for about $53 at MSY.

    Probably should put price in title.

  • Store RepOzbargain Guru @ adslOZ on 07/03/2012 - 18:50

    Every brand is a no-brand until customers start buying.

    This deal makes this only a $28.00 router.

    After you notice the products specs and performance and pro's and cons, and consider over 200 million modem routers are made and sold by this manufacturer into the China Telecom channel, then you might consider the benefit.

      Fair point, but with no reviews for this model in existence, all we have to go on in terms of quality is your word. And not every brand has the potential to be a good brand, which depends on more than customers' willingness to buy.

      What name are they sold under on the Chinese market, so that we can research customer reviews?
      Is it actually possible to buy it for $28, without having to spend $10 on shipping? If not, it's a $38 router.

        they argued on the grounds that it's a router and it does what the specs say it does, they would only offer a replacement; they wouldn't accept the fact that it wasn't working properly instead insisting that we must have set it up wrong or weren't operating it properly… it wasn't worth fighting over (hence the cheap as dirt comment)

    For those that need to know, its manufactured by http://www.twsz.com/ and marketed in China as http://goldwebcn.com

    TWSZ have about 40% of the local Chinese market, and also make OEM for Netcomm, and other brands worldwide.

    As a large and reputable manufacturer, they are looking to grow outside China. Checkout their Chinese websites when you want to get an idea of the range and types of products they produce.

    We have already heavily tested their 3g modems and other Voip routers as well before we started to promote their products here.

      Now that is actually useful information, which you probably should have published straight off, given that you are trying to promote an unknown brand. I would not have complained if you had. You must forgive my skepticism given the large number of no-brand products from China which are not all of acceptable quality.

      Hi Bob81, sorry for late reply, but had to get correct information from the engineering staff.

      DD-WRT : RTL8196c chipset doesn't support DD-WRT or the third party firmware.
      We will have both updates for firmware and drivers etc for all models available on the website shortly. (Under construction atm).

      Any further queries, let me know.

      • alvian on 09/03/2012 - 23:04

        Above in the reply, the chipset is Realtek RTL8196c.
        Below in the specs, the chipset is Broadcom BCM5357.

        Which is it?

        • Store RepOzbargain Guru @ adslOZ on 09/03/2012 - 23:17

    IMO this isnt a bargain. Rec retail is same price as other much more well known brands that have regular updates and a support system that's much more likley to be there in the future. $28 is fair price for an unknown item, but not a bargain. For $10-20 more, you can get D-Link, Cisco, Belkin etc. and know exactly what you are buying and where to go for support.
