-1 voteI paid from PayPal and I received all the confirmations from Mwave as well. But now I have received an email from them saying that my order was cancelled. I managed to submit my order by 2.01 p.m. My work colleague sitting next to me submitted his order about 5 - 10 minutes after me and he received his router this morning.
The difference is that he paid from Credit Card and I paid from PayPal even though I submitted earlier and just after 2 p.m. when they activate the offer. So that means even if you submit your order earlier they Cancel it if you had paid it from PayPal. If they had mentioned that in their web site I would have paid it from CC. This is bad Mwave. I still Do Not neg and gave a +1 because it's not OP's fault. but next time I will remember to pay directly with CC but not with PayPal when I deal with MWave. Hope they tried to save few cents of PayPal commission in here. Still it's bad as who ever submitted the orders when you have heaps of stocks left and even charge the customer and give confirmations should get it.

ooooohhh, me interested. But chances are I will forget to look between that 1 hour and/or they sell out.
Anyone think these are a good model just as a wireless network extender?
camel_racer on 07/03/2012 - 11:54 ¶Just a note: I had a quick read through the terms & conditions of the cashback & they can take up to 60 days to transfer the $$ back to you. From previous experiences with cashbacks they tend to be in the end secton of this timeline rather than the start.
So just a caution you may be out of pocket for up to 2 months.

Also, it is single band (only 2.4ghz) so you won't be able to take advantage of full wireless N, only 10/100 ethernet (sooooo yesterday :P ) and has pretty average reviews (see Mikinoz's comment)
I guess try and get one (because its free) but meh if I miss out

Interesting reviews especially pppoa, i might save my time and let others who really want it

+3 voteswonder how they interpret this clause
(g) This Promotion does not apply to any of the Eligible Products if those models were purchased as part of a bundle (including, without limitation, any bundle which includes any other Linksys products) and claims will be refused if they are made in conjunction with any other promotion, any special deals or any special offers.
+3 votesHmmm…
It also states:
(d) Your selected authorized CCP retailer/ reseller is free to set its own resale prices for CCP products and the cash rebate amount stated in these Conditions applies regardless of the resale prices set by your selected authorized CCP retailer or reseller.
Linksys E1500 Wireless-N Router:
- Connect your computers, wireless printers, smart phones, and other wireless devices at up to 300Mbps Wireless-N (802.11n) transfer speed
- Use 4 Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) ports to directly connect wired devices
Q. If I deploy 802.11n, do I also need to upgrade my Ethernet LAN to Gigabit Ethernet?
An 802.11n AP serving only 802.11n clients can deliver over 150 Mbps throughput. In this case, the 10/100 Ethernet LAN is the bottleneck and you should consider upgrading it to Gigabit Ethernet. Using 5 GHz 802.11n WLAN is another alternative to design a wireless backhaul.Agree the 10/100 wired lan is the speed limiting factor of this modem if connecting via wired connection to a pc. You need to use a wireless N card in the PC to benefit from the 300mb speed from the wireless.
+2 votes300Mbit/s is the theoretical maximum bandwidth. You will be lucky to transfer 7MByte/s in real life. See for example http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1012574.
Error correction, encryption, signal propagation, collision, walls and doors, interference from microwave & telephones… all these and more will reduce the bandwidth to below Fast Ethernet. Fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s) can archive 8 to 9MByte/s sustained transfer speed through a switch.
you just plug one of the 4 ports in the back of your router into the internet slot on this wireless modem. You should also configure the security of this new router?
will it speed up? probably… but depends on a lot of factors. Wireless n has better range, but you need wireless n cards to get that maximum speed and range. Wireless n products are backwards compatible, which means they will work with wireless G. Also, if you really want to extend your house wireless network, use a longer lan cord, then put the new router elsewhere in the house
No DD-wrt or tomato yet for this unfortunately: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=90346&postdays=... . Still, free is free, but you're probably going to be stuck with whatever firmware it comes with.
+3 votesgreenpossum on 07/03/2012 - 12:56 ¶That's right, there're no point trying. Did I already mention that it's pointless trying?
Oh well, you can't blame me for trying to reduce the contention. :)
+1 voteI'd have taken a shot at buying this if it was supported by dd-wrt, but it's not afaict.

Techo: Hi boss, our new site is ready. It will be the bees knees.
Boss: Ok, let's stress test it. Please post a deal for some junk we want to clear out to OzBargain.
Techo: Arrrgh!

Hmm, I'm glad I didn't try at all, from a reading of the latest posts, it looks like it was a farce as only a handful of people got confirmed orders. Maybe they never had much stock in the first place and it was a stress test of their ordering system, like I joked.
+2 votesTheres a chance you wont get your $30 cashback due to terms and conditions of the cisco promo:
(g) This Promotion does not apply to any of the Eligible Products if those models were purchased as part of a bundle (including, without limitation, any bundle which includes any other Linksys products) and claims will be refused if they are made in conjunction with any other promotion, any special deals or any special offers.
+2 votesso what part of the condition is to worry about?
it is not part of a bundle. i wouldn't call it part of a promotion either - they are just selling a single e1500 unit.
i'd be more concerned about stock levels. i fear it will end in tears for many people
also cashback takes up to 60 days
must be 18 or over
Does anyone else find it ironic that the best Mwave deals aren't posted by the rep?

+1 voteFYI, Linksys/Cisco routers have WPS enabled by default, and cannot be disabled by default.
If you update to the latest firmware, it should allow you to disable WPS.The latest firmware is available here: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-apac/support/routers/E1500
Just look up WPS flaw to see the issue regarding the wireless vulnerability.

Peccadilloes on 08/03/2012 - 07:57 ¶i ahve netgear dv834gv with adsl2+ modem router with 2 voip ports.
can I get this to replace my g with n?
what more must I add to get a voip?
a newbie.
want a cheap upgrade and if the N is better than g and i can add cheap voip connectors?
iinet told me PLC and bridge were things to ask for.hope this Q is in order as it is related to getting this router free, then addons to make a cheap connection with voip as well.
I don't need it now. But I may need it in the future. That's more than enough to convince me to buy it.
Also the word "deprive" isn't an accurate word to use. You make it seem as if someone is stealing a necessity in your life. If having a router is a necessity in you life then you shouldn't mind spending some money and buying one.
