    It's from CPL, also known as the dodgiest computer store in Australia.

    Beware, CPL does the following things:

    • Sell ex-return and/or damaged item as new. When you try to return it, they accuse you of opening or damaging it, and charge you a restocking or repair fee.

    • Instead of using the restocking or repair fee to restock the item with a new one, they keep the money, and sell the returned item to the next unsuspecting customer, and the cycle continues.

    • Sales staff give advice about what you should buy, but when the advice turns out to be wrong, and you have to return it, they charge you a restocking fee.

    • All returns, even DOA faulty returns, do not entitle you to cash. You can only get a store credit (allowing them to screw you further when you buy next time) or a replacement (which could be an ex-return/damaged item).

    • When you claim warranty, they deliberately let the item sit on their shelf for weeks doing nothing, not out of negligence but out of spite.

    • If you talk to the manufacturer about your faulty item, and they say "return it to your store for refund, here is your case number for authority", don't expect CPL to play along. CPL has the arrogance to say the manufacturer is wrong, and declare the item is not faulty, despite what the manufacturer says.

    • Sometimes when claiming warranty, the supplier/manufacturer replaces your faulty unit with a new upgraded unit, but CPL keeps that upgrade for reselling while giving you an inferior replacement they happen to have (without telling you of course – you only find out about it if you call up the supplier/manufacturer to discover what happened behind the scenes).

    • If you argue with CPL about their abuse and dishonesty, you better hope they don't have any of your parts in possession, otherwise they will charge you "administration fees" (for the trouble you allegedly caused them) to punish you before you can get your parts back.

    • Insult and taunt you instore when there is a problem, hoping you will lose it while their surveillance camera is recording you.

      Good god, consumer affairs been informed of this?

      What has the rep have to say in defense?

      Shame on you CPL Online.
      Shame on you.

    Thanks for taking the time to post such a detailed comment. Really appreciated.

      Just putting the truth out there, so others don't get burned too. Plenty of others out there who can confirm how bad and nasty CPL is, its managers seem to get a thrill out of antagonising customers.

    based on what cutebirdy said, i think i will give a neg to warn others

      another couple of negs and all this useful info will disappear……

      “Ditto” “see above” etc. - Well its already got a negative vote, for that reason, its not a popularity test so no need to vote again.

      Thought Msy was bad but after reading that I have to neg Cpl. D-link was always an issue for me in the past with random resets and freezing prob due to overheating.

  • cyssero on 15/08/2012 - 23:13

    $65 from OnLine Computer with free shipping and some dodgy headset thrown in if you like them on FB: http://www.onlinecomputer.com.au/product_info.php?products_i…

    Factoring in shipping, it's the same price as CPL or possibly cheaper depending where you live.

    • alvian on 15/08/2012 - 23:57

      OLC put up their price by $10 the moment the cashback was offered. See http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/74707 and decide if you want to support them.

      • cyssero on 16/08/2012 - 00:11

        I missed that altogether, but they are including shipping which they previously didn't seem to. For those in rural areas that could be a lot more than $10. Not defending them, but worth considering. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Wow, I think the deal is still good. So will plus this.
    I haven't had trouble with CPL but rarely shop there.
    For those worried just price match at officeworks.

  • atlas on 16/08/2012 - 00:16

    Could this be bridged with a telstra cable modem? Any good as a router?

  • dreamzz on 16/08/2012 - 07:39

    Is it just a router or a modem/router?

  • Chris McMahon on 16/08/2012 - 14:25

    Price match CPL's $85 price at Officeworks and get it for $80.75. Then get the $30 cashback from D-link, net price is $50.75.

  • vrsac on 20/08/2012 - 08:29

    This router is also compatible with dd-wrt firmware:
