I was browsing Camels Price Drops, stumbled on this. It seems like shut up and take my money deal :) ~ 30% drop.

I'd buy, if I had not already bought one similar from Amazon JP year ago. I use it as Access Point with my Mikrotik CRS309.
Great 6E for Meta (Oculus) Quest 3.

        ok you're clearly not a fat nerd. You have no right to post deals about tech

          I actually am a nerd :) Use it as Access Point with proper, separate router. Block its access to inet by MAC address. Done.
          OpenWRT will always be behind in supporting fast, recent wifi chipsets.

            @nuker: Well sure there's no need for OpenWRT if you're just using it as an AP with a Mikrotik router, but isn't that the whole point (that the routing functionality isn't great)? Also depends where your issues are e.g., for me the wifi speed isn't really an issue but bufferbloat is and having proper SQM is very important, OpenWRT would be hugely beneficial for that compared to the stock firmware

      Comes to the same $203 for me with delivery.
      So no, not cheaper :)

      • +4

        It's cheaper for me even with delivery. So yes, it is cheaper :)

    Does anyone happen to know if we can mesh this, with other TP Link mesh systems?

    My main mesh units (deco x68) ethernet port just randomly crapped itself y-day. Seems to be a common occurrence with the wifi 6 tp link mesh units…

    Are tp link still producing garbage despite good specs?

      Seems like it. I bought a TP-link AX73 router recently to "upgrade" from the default ISP router. Turns out the default ISP router has WAY better wi-fi strength and stability.

      • I have zero issues with my TP-link AX73, maybe different environmental factors though.

        • yeah its strange, we've only got a small house (timber internal walls) and the router is placed right in the center.

        Does the unit model number sticker on the device have a (EU) on it?

        I think it might be because they are shipping EU firmware (that may come with EU restricted power) for the AU region as well.

        • It does actually have the EU model number on it. That's really annoying.
          I guess I'll use that as an argument for a refund when I take it back to Officeworks tomorrow.

            @bAps: Good luck with the refund.
            Im assuming for the 5ghz wifi channel list it will be missing ch149 and above as well which is allowed in Australia but not allowed in EU. If that's the case then I guess you can use that for another reason for refund as well.

            • @Sum1: Thanks for the info.
              Is there any way to ensure that if I'm buying a new router (I won't buy the AX73 again) it will be an AU model?

              • @bAps: This part I don't know. Im not even sure they have an AU model since AU might be too small of a market for them to customise.

                Most likely they just have either a US or EU model but I haven't actually ever tried looking at their products on a brick and Mortar store to check their barcode stickers on it. Given the choice I think the US should have higher power limit than EU but I never tried their US labelled product so don't know as well.

                To get a proper official answer I think it would be best to ask TP link support for it.

    • Yeeeep, 3 modems I went through before I gave up and went with a different brand, used to be loyal to them, went over to asus, happy fella.

  • Can this be configured to run a VLAN, or is that controlled on the modem?

    I am with TPG and they have given me modem/router of TP LINK VX420-G2v and wanting to set up a VLAN to put my security camera in one VLAN.

    Any help much appreciated!
