    Great deal for those that can get one, good luck guys!

  • Wimma on 24/10/2012 - 12:23

    No DD-WRT for this, correct?

    • krisspy on 24/10/2012 - 12:25

      DD WRT is mainly for routers. This is a modem router.

      So no.

      • Curiosity on 24/10/2012 - 12:28

        Are you sure this device has a modem as well?

        • krisspy on 24/10/2012 - 12:30

          No it doesn't my bad.

          Bad reviews from amazon about dropouts, no replaceable antennas aswell. Don't think DD-WRT/Tomato would help this much

          Edit: this isnt listed on DD WRT supported devices.

          Ok, call it a $13, 4 port GE switch then? :)

        • krisspy on 24/10/2012 - 12:59

          I don't even think this has 10/100?

          edit: Ok 4 slots, not Gigabit

        • Russ on 24/10/2012 - 13:22

          Then it shouldn't be described as "N300", if you can only get data into it at 100Mbps. The maximum speed you'll ever get is 100Mbps, unless you are transferring between two wifi devices which are both in range of this router. Then the bandwidth will be shared between the two devices - so each will see 150Mbps?

          The only way I can see to achieve the "N300" rating of 300Mbps is to have three NAS drives attached to this router by ethernet, and having your mobile device downloading at 100Mbps from each of them, simultaneously. Not a realistic situation.

          Still, a very good price, even if you think of it as a "100Mbps" version of a wireless router.

        • slix_88 on 24/10/2012 - 14:10

          uwotm8?

          Not sure if troll or troll.

          When do you ever get the theoretical maximum? You'd be lucky to achieve 100mbps. Also, just a heads up to everyone… I bought this router at the previous $19 deal and it has connectivity issues for wireless.

  • gevidian on 24/10/2012 - 12:29

    It is only a router - no modem.

      thanks, added to the description

  • Twisty on 24/10/2012 - 12:36

    Will it work well to boost the Wifi Signal around my house? I have a Belkin Moden / Router as my main one ATM

  • cvas on 24/10/2012 - 12:40

    I'll admit its a good deal for $13, however for my needs I think Ill take a different route and get something like the D-Link which supports DDWRT.
    Just have to wait for a similar price to this $22 from HN http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/79512

    • wallet72 on 24/10/2012 - 14:14

      I thought DD will run on this?

    • izzeho on 24/10/2012 - 15:30

      A lot of the TP-link models are also fantastic with openwrt/gargoyle. I've got 3 running it and absolutely zero issues (far better performing than the billon I was using for wireless+modem, which has just been downgraded to being used as a modem)

  • clandestino on 24/10/2012 - 12:41

    I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff. Why should I buy it? I have a wireless modem/router already.

    • lopied on 24/10/2012 - 12:46

      Because its an ozbargain :)

      On a serious note, if your router does not meet your needs and if this one is better then that would be a reason to buy it, but there are heaps of better routers out there, it all comes down to what your needs and spending criteria is.

    • jasonlah on 24/10/2012 - 12:46

      lol if u already have a wireless router that you're happy with then dont buy this one. I bought this one to replace my ancient dlink G router. Works a lot better and has more range.

  • grog on 24/10/2012 - 12:45

    East Victoria Park OW in Perth metro had a few on tuesday

  • B-prince on 24/10/2012 - 13:04

    hey guys biggest problem i have been having with my belkin G router is that it struggles i think due to a number of devices being connected to it ie. laptop, tablet, phone, ps3. How many devices would something like this be able to connect?

    • spare13 on 24/10/2012 - 13:57

      Definitely more than a g router. You'll see a massive difference with an n router.

    • Fizzydrink on 25/10/2012 - 11:56

      16 according to the specs on the belkin site

  • wowoyu on 24/10/2012 - 13:06

    Can I use this to extend my existing wifi network? My bedroom wifi signal is not very good.
    Thanks in advanceļ¼

    • Twisty on 24/10/2012 - 13:20

      Good Question

    • stairy on 24/10/2012 - 15:57

      Yes i have read that the N300 does have wireless bridging mode. I wish i could buy this online. Hopefully they have this in stock tomorrow.

    They have to pay me to buy this crappy router

  • aerona on 24/10/2012 - 14:40

    If only this were a modem.

  • kumak on 24/10/2012 - 14:56

    If only I can buy online and pick up in store

  • IJustKnowStuff on 24/10/2012 - 15:32

  • Candour on 25/10/2012 - 07:29

    i ahve an netgear modem router to get voip as well
    not sure as an older newbie of what else I need to get if I just get a router, apparently I need a modem as well etc and so the gateway netygear dg834gvis what I am stuck with.
    my PC is not wireless and apparently the wireless does not cover my printer [samsung ml laser 1865w] as well.
    or my fuji xerox laser mfc docuprint m 205b
    what I like to know is the next best value for money upgrade
    not into buying iinet gear as OzB seems to have beeter offers always.

  • ChemicalMan on 25/10/2012 - 07:56

    Dandenong and Box Hill are sold out. Cranbourne still has 2 in stock.

  • Fizzydrink on 25/10/2012 - 12:01

    hmm this vs my currently doing ok old netgear 2000 v1

  • Duff5000 on 25/10/2012 - 16:52

    I grabbed on of these in the deal a while back.

    Wireless has been fine. Only issue i seem to have is occasionally not giving my PC an IP when i turn it on. I have to go to diagnose connection issue and it resets the adapter and gets an IP.

    Could be related to the PC but it wasn't doing that on the old dlink I was using before. Hasn't been enough of an issue for me to bother trying to fix yet.

  • Kelvin H. on 25/10/2012 - 19:31

    There's 2 sealed ones and an damaged box one left at Watergardens.

  • JinT on 25/10/2012 - 21:17
