    Hi OP, why JB couldn't match $349?

    • bargain ben on 06/02/2024 - 14:25

      Sorry typo, i meant $349. I'll fix it

  • PainToad on 06/02/2024 - 14:34

    NetGear Nighthawk

    Perfect for those that are nocturnal.

    How is this compare with xiomai At 7000 which was posted recently from aliexpress.com

  • Takumi Fujiwara on 06/02/2024 - 15:01

    Possible price beat at Office works to $331.55 (depending on who you talk to)

    Good for those with fly buys and or gift cards to use as well

    • bargain ben on 06/02/2024 - 15:08

      I got it for $331.55 at JB with discounted gift cards :)
      Price beating at Officeworks is not easy.

        Tell me about it man, once I tried price beating an Apple pen from Amazon and Office works claimed “its probably a price error, we can’t price beat that” so I just said “fine I’ll order through the phone” magically 10 secs later they said they actually can lol

  • Circly on 06/02/2024 - 15:15

    Would a normal user who just uses this for normal Pc use, streaming, downloading and gaming notice much difference with this compared to a normal router?

    • Lief on 06/02/2024 - 15:27

      What is a normal router?

      • Circly on 06/02/2024 - 15:31

        Like something an ISP would bundle with your internet.

        • Lief on 06/02/2024 - 15:40

          Depends on how picky you are and how bad your ISPs router is.
          Probably yes though.

        • PuppieWayne on 06/02/2024 - 15:41

          Ya.

          That will be fine.. unless you have a lot of people sharing and requires QoS to balance gaming and all, a normal one will do fine.

          Do look into getting a mesh system if you need wifi through more than 2 walls thought.

        • bargain ben on 06/02/2024 - 16:46

          Yes, if you like streaming things to multiple devices, you are most likely going to see a difference.

          • Circly on 06/02/2024 - 16:54

            @bargain ben: Thanks all.

            So something like Playstation ps5 remote play would be minimal lag with this.

            Assuming ps5 is plugged into ethernet.

  • PuppieWayne on 06/02/2024 - 15:39

    Waiting for the Bald Eagle model.

    .. cause..'Murica!

  • CarbonFour on 06/02/2024 - 16:26

    Is this better than an Asus router?

      I am replacing an Asus router which this model. ASUS ones seem as buggy as hell.

    Very happy with this router.

  • cadam49 on 06/02/2024 - 17:15

    Would anyone recommend this over the TP-LINK AXE5400 DECO-XE75(2-PACK) which is $345 on the good guys commercial.

    Anyone used it with a Quest 2?

  • BrainOverFlow on 06/02/2024 - 19:26

    Is this nbn compatible? FTTB

      • PainToad on 07/02/2024 - 06:23
        +1

        HFC, FTTC, Wireless and FTTP all don’t require a modem as an NTD is provided.

        Only FTTN and FTTB require a VDSL modem.

    • bargain ben on 11/02/2024 - 18:17

      Yes it's compatible with all NBN variants. I am using it currently on HFC NBN and will be changing soon to FTTP NBN which it's also compatible with… It can do PPPoE logins.

  • art-fanatic on 07/02/2024 - 06:42

    I have this router. Its chipset is really solid. No complaints. Have about 35 devices continuously connected.

  • hvbarg on 07/02/2024 - 09:58

    I have a Billion BiPac 8700AXL that's seems to be struggling with the amount of devices connected to it. Can this hold the load of 20 devices with sufficient strength of signal on a 120sqm area? (HFC @ 100/40 Superloop)

    • bargain ben on 07/02/2024 - 12:22

      The person have connects 35 devices simultaneously to theirs, you would be good with 20 devices. The specs indicate you can do 8 simultaneous Ultra HD streams with it.
