  Why note pay a little bit more for a single erro 6+? Genuine question.

    i think bad software (not enough controls in the app)

    Personally I was waiting for the Asus AX56U to drop in price, which it did, but then realised it's EOL. I pushed the budget up a bit to get this instead. In a small house I can make do with a single router with good range. I expect a single node from one of those mesh kits to have reduced range than a router with external antennae, although it's hard to get data on this.

  Why do you see lots of these deals for routers and not modems? With NBN is a modem not required and only a router?

  • 

    Pursue4 on 11/10/2023 - 14:39

    Correct me if I'm wrong but you will need a modem if it's FTTN but if it's FTTP you only need a router

    • 

      Ozzy Ozbargain on 11/10/2023 - 16:30

      FTTP, FTTC and HFC wouldn't need a modem

      • 

        Chopel on 11/10/2023 - 16:34

        How do I know which FTT# is my one. Currently, I have small white box that connect from outside and LAN cable from that box to my TPLink.

            @Ozzy Ozbargain: Technology used in your connection
            Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) has been used in your connection to the nbn network.
            So I believe I can connect from HFC to this router?

              @Chopel: I’ve never seen a white HFC NTD before.

              This is what it would look like if you have HFC https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrk9Sn…

              You sure you entered the right address?

                @PainToad: I think they mean, they have a "white box" outside the house (?), inside would be the Black NTD you linked to.

                I have HFC and this is the case (white box outside, black box inside, in simple terms).

    Because why would they include $5 worth of vdsl components when people will happily pay $999 for WiFi access points and you can sell them a second device?

    And yes if you have fibre or hfc you don't need a vdsl modem

  •

    Only 35.5% of NBN connection still need a VDSL modem. This number would be much lower in other countries too.

    A modem is becoming more and more niche.

      Thanks. This was something new for me.

  Dealhunter82 on 11/10/2023 - 15:05

  Noob question- we built a house and have data points in 4 locations. Can i use this to connect into one of the central data points , so that the whole house gets adequate wifi signal? I.e. use as an extender for the nbn box?

  Whats the difference to this one -

    Google AC1200 vs AX3000, aka WiFi 5 vs WiFi 6, that's the most obvious difference.

  NigelTufnel on 11/10/2023 - 15:40

  Would I benefit from using (/is it possible to use) this as a router and a set of Deco mesh points as APs. I like the coverage of the deco mesh I currently have, but want more granular feature settings than deco has (e.g. channel selection).

  • 

    gherkins on 11/10/2023 - 19:05

    also interested to know how this works with the deco mesh points- do you need to connect a main deco via Ethernet to this router or does this act as the main access point?

    • 

      NigelTufnel on 11/10/2023 - 21:52

      Yeah, I'm pretty sure you still need to connect a main deco to it over Ethernet and set the deco to AP mode.
