At what NBN speed tier is it worth upgrading to wifi 6?
Depends on if the device that uses the WIFI is WIFI 6 ready!
Gigabit if your phone, laptop and so on have Wi-Fi 6.
thing looks like it literally is going to take off
Hope that doesn't mean this device will throw sporadic tantrums.
reviews seem pretty shite.
Should be able to price match for further 5% off at officeworks:

Hardly Normal also have it at $312

Officeworks will price beat/price match but need to add delivery costs too.
What the hell is that!
I got the RAX80 (the model up from the one posted)a couple of years ago and i love the thing.
I can highly endorse these routers, The entire life i have had it it's worked perfectly with minimal issues. In it's entire 2 years of me having it i have only needed to restart it for playing up once. I have had to restart other times but they have been for other reasons (NBN issues, software updates, etc).
I utilize wifi6 all the time on this for streaming or downloading between computers and it works really well. I even sampled 1000/40 internet for a month and tested it out thoroughly, worked really well with that. i'm now back down to 100/40 speeds, and i'm still very happy with the router. I'm running about 30 devices ongoing (combination of hard wired and wifi) and it works flawlessly.
1 thing i love
THE RANGE! i was tossing up between a mesh system or multiple accesspoints (i'm on a 650 square meter property, long lot of land, not square). I have this router about 1/3 of the way up the property and i manage to get wifi to the entire property with just the 1 router.1 thing i hate
My only thing i don't like about the router is it doesn't have any 2.5 or 10 GbE ports….however i don't need that right now, it's certainly something i'll be looking out for in my next router for future proofing.
Can vouch for the range. When I drive into my street my car picks it up about 70 meters away and I'm in double brick.
Had no issues. Been a bunch of firmware updates so assume they have ironed out the kinks.
Have heaps of devices linked. At least 30 on WiFi alone.
double brick as well for me :-)
This one qccept 5g simcards?
Not that I have seen
unfortunately not, mine doesn't take sim cards

Yay back to routers that look like futuristic drones and not nightmare spider things
This looks like a fictional space ship. I guess that's what the Netgear design engineers were aiming for. I really think that one of the head design engineers must be a massive Star Wars fan.
In the looks department we have gone from spiders to stingrays, cool.
Darth Vader included?
this or ASUS RT-AX86S ?
Anyone tried price matching at JB?
Tried to and price on their kiosk showed $478 on HN site, my phone showed $312 even refreshed. Went to HN and ticket showed $312, purchased and checked receipt $478, returned for refund of $166. HN site now $478 and amazon unavailable. HN floor sitckers still should get you the price as it did for me!
damn what HN was this. My local in Bris said its 478 still
Newcastle
Hmm to get this or to wait for 6E?
