User edit 0740 9/5/13: Price adjusted. Now $129 ($29 after cashback).

Edit 1100 10/5/13: Cashback exclusion list now includes DSE. Purchase at your own risk.

Edit: Here is the reply from D-Link via email: "This new Ts and Cs only applicable for any purchases from 10/5 onward".

Edit: Here is a clearer cut-off point, straight from their again-updated terms and conditions: "Limit 1 per person per household only. Excludes Officeworks, Dick Smith, E-Bay & Unauthorised E-Tailers, applicable to all other retailers and channel and cannot coincide with any other offers. DIR-865L purchases from Dick Smith after 10/5/2013 10am AEST will not be eligible for this offer (previous purchases before 10/5/2013 10am AEST will be honoured)."

So that is it. The deal technically expire now since they no longer offer cashback for purchase from dicksmith. HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS PRICEMATCH AT JBHIFI OR HARVEY NORMAN, IF YOU CAN FIND STOCK AT DICKSMITH

Basically, the same deal at Dicksmith at http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/101972 but D-Link just have their new cashback promotion where they give $100 Cashback to purchases at ANY AUSTRALIAN STORES (except Officeworks).
I have checked dicksmith stock around Melbourne and plenty have stock.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

  • Limit 1 per person per household only. Excludes Officeworks, E-Bay & Unauthorised E-Tailers, applicable to all other retailers and channel and cannot coincide with any other offers.
  • You must print out the final step of this on-line redemption form, signed and attached the copy of proof of purchase before posting it to D-Link. Unsigned form will be rejected.
  • All claims must be received by D-Link no later than promotion cut-off date.
  • Please allow up to 60 days to receive your cashback or bonus product on offer.
  • This promotion is VOID where prohibited or restricted by law.

      there is an ebay seller saying "…bought in error…" with the INTENTION. Crap!

      well, that's the bargain you can get for $99 shipped and the bought-in-error fellow can get his profit.

      You may also want to ask for his receipt for the product warranty.

    I need a wireless router too, anyone wants to sell for a reasonable price, please let me know.

  • dalbo on 08/05/2013 - 21:47

    I have a click and collect on hold at Marion, SA, which neither I nor my wife will be able to get to tomorrow any more. It's confirmed by email and SMS, but I have not called to confirm it is being held. I have actually been looking for a cheap WiFi router to install at my grandaprent's place who have recently gotten an iPad (which is somewhat useless without WiFi!). Since I can't get to it, if anyone is near Marion and genuinely wants to KEEP this router, then PM me and I'll send you the click and collect details. Of course, if someone wants to pick it up and bring it to me in the city, even better, but I'm not going to push my luck that far!

    • dalbo on 09/05/2013 - 12:25

      Someone cancelled on my wife, so she was able to go and pick it up. Sorry guys.

  • hijupic on 08/05/2013 - 22:09

    Anyone want to get rid of theirs. I actually want the router not the cash back. Anyone willing to give/sell theirs?
    Of course I won't be paying the gumtree prices (sorry)

      Yeah me too, when I got more than one of anything from ozbargain, it is always for friends and family and never intend to resell it. I mean, what is the purpose of others sharing it for you when you are going to use it for profit against others. If everyone is like it, then people wont bother sharing anymore, they would simply purchase and resell for profit. If it was true, then there would never be ozbargain in the first place. Stop being selfish and think of others.

      Disclosure, I have got three of them, one is for me, one is for my parents and one is for my girlfriend's family. NONE was for ebay and gumtree.

      I bought 1 unit, either to upgrade my current router or to give away to someone who needs it. It didn't even occur to me that I could buy multiple units and profit until I was driving home, and even then I was: "meh, I'm too honest for that, I hope someone else can score a bargain too!"

  • figarow on 09/05/2013 - 01:06

    This is sold out at dicksmith in my area, where else can i get it under $100 and be able to claim?

  • illumination on 09/05/2013 - 01:27

    I'm also looking at buying this somewhere.. Might try out JB Hifi tomorrow although I feel like I'm quite late.
    Or I wonder if I'll have any joy with Harvey Norman..

    And I do want to use this myself because the DIR-825 I bought, I can't get it to work. Once I get the DIR-825 working I'll make it my extender, and this DIR865L will be my main.

  • boxall on 09/05/2013 - 07:30

    • msbluberry on 10/05/2013 - 09:20

      Same thing has happened to me in the past with both JB and Harvery Norman (even after providing proof).. I think it really depends on the staff member you get or perhaps store-specific policies? I was lucky enough to get JB to price match this deal but wasn't really expecting to!

  • DF8 on 09/05/2013 - 22:47

    • ironplus on 09/05/2013 - 23:34

      Agreed with unity1 had to say down below. My only tip for you is too give D-link and a call and get them to cancel the request for the promotional Cashback for the specific serial number as the previous person no longer has the router and that you want to request for claim. See what they have to say, there's no harm in trying. Honestly that is truly dodgy and there's probably a high chance the person is reading this comment at the moment.

  • unity1 on 09/05/2013 - 23:01

    Dangerous. Don't touch it if your want to claim. $15 and a free router wasn't enough for the person who returned that. They want to make $100 profit. Quite simply the first claim will be accepted, providing it has been lodged. Yours will be rejected based on the fact that 1 claim has been made using that particular serial number.

    • eleana on 09/05/2013 - 23:05

      If it's true, the person doing it is very dodgy!

    • Newtz4 on 10/05/2013 - 02:37

      I just filled out the 5 steps for the cashback for mine (As my Click and Confirm was confirmed today, when I placed the order yesterday, so I figured it had probably been returned!). I then tried to see if I could re-use my code, but it wouldn't let me as its 'already been used'!

      So if your code works on step one, you can be pretty sure that your code hasn't been used before by somebody else!!

      • lplau on 10/05/2013 - 09:42

        Dicksmith doesn't usually allow people to return items due to change of mind. Only time they allow return is if it is broken.

        • eug on 10/05/2013 - 09:57

          They used to, and people used to take advantage of it. TV sales would increase before a big game, followed by lots of returns after the game. No wonder they changed the policy in 2011.

  • unity1 on 09/05/2013 - 23:10

    But then again, if it comes down to verifying the individual entries at least you have the physical proof.

    If someone had infact purchased this, claimed and then returned this, it would be an act worse than Brodening.

  • PresidentClinton on 10/05/2013 - 01:01

    Has anyone used the mydlink.com cloud service? Theres this creepy feature that lets you view websites that have been visited by devices connected to the router..

  • MattBuzzy on 10/05/2013 - 02:34

    Awesome deal, thanks O.P. Managed to get JB Hifi Munno Para to price match as Renmark had some in stock. Pretty decent router especially for the price.

    Replaced my DIR-685 with it and using the old router as a repeater so i finally have a decent connection at the other end of the house. The range of the 865 is better than the 685, but only slightly.

    Overall I am quite happy with it and i'm sure i will be even more so once devices start using 802.11ac. Worth the $84.50 paid even if D-link rejects the cashback claim.

    • shinichiduy on 10/05/2013 - 09:18

    Hi all - thought I'd add my 2 cents here as well.

    I emailed a few JB's and Harvey Norman about price matching Dick Smith at $129. Got a quick response from JB Fountain Gate approving the price match (yay!). Original price was $297. Picked one up after work yesterday, there were about 2-3 units left if anyone is interested (one looked as if it had been opened though). Perhaps take a print out of the Dick Smith deal just in case, I didn't need to show it but I guess it depends on the staff member you get.

    Good luck to anyone still searching, and thanks OP!!

    • vt on 10/05/2013 - 13:51

      Thanks for the post as it really helped me out.

      Just got a price match at Harvey Norman Maribyrnong for $129 by telling them that Cranbourne Dick Smith (3805) still had stock. They still had 2 of the routers on the shelves so get in quick if you're still after one.

          They should be happy. The software on the Dlink routers I've owned is buggy as a firetruck.

          Okay I'll elaborate. It works fine and then suddenly, for no apparent reason, it will stop working (no matter what you do!). The only fix is to do a factory reset.

      I just called D-Link head office in Sydney. I was informed that if you have printed out the redemption form before the DSE exclusion was added, they will honour the claim.

      I guess they would be in serious hot water with Consumer Affairs if they tried to disallow these claims. It's still somewhat dodgy to exclude purchases prior to the change if the claim form hasn't yet been printed and could be worth a complaint submission.

      There was a serious security issue with their website earlier this week. It was possible to view other completed claim forms (including name, address and phone number details) by simply changing the index number at the end of the URL for a completed claim. I called to inform them of this and it's now been fixed.

  • tonyjzx on 10/05/2013 - 11:11

    this is going to get funny

    i have my forms all printed out ready to send and yet… could get rejected

    problem is its a bit "bait n switch" to suddenly change the terms and conditions like this

    even if you do send the forms registered mail it doesnt mean squat because [email protected] who signs for it can well say… "oh look not valid"

    i suppose if you had a printed copy of their T&C at the time it may help your case… but even then
