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.

    What the hell….it gave the wrong address after submit so I went back and now it wont print?
    Edit: Copy sent to email address phew

    As I said before no serial number on receipt to match box?
    I bought two will this be an issue with redemption if I give them the wrong receipt?

    • nickdunn on 16/05/2013 - 19:45

      They delay the cashback for 60 days because of this reason.After that you cant return.I think so but not sure.

  • k_leb on 16/05/2013 - 22:53

    Thanks - picked one up from JB in Chatswood Chase for $129 with a DSE pricematch. Just filling in the claim form now.

  • shoppinginsyd on 17/05/2013 - 11:40

    Can anyone tell me how to use it ? Currently, I have a modem&router at home and I'm with TPG. Now how can I apply this router to use its powerful functions ? Much appreciated.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/05/2013 - 12:53

      What you want to achieve?

      If your existing modem/router is crap, you may just want to use it as a modem and pass through the internet connection to the new router.

      Alternatively you can use both, and the new router acts as an extension (e.g. disable dhcp and let old modem/router handle that + set up new wireless network info)

      Either way, esssentially you connect the 2 devices with a network cable.

      • shoppinginsyd on 17/05/2013 - 15:12

        thank you very much. My old modem/router is out of date. I want to use the new Dlink as my router. How can I use the old one as just a modem ?

    • shinichiduy on 17/05/2013 - 13:11

      You would want to set your current modem/router one to the bridge mode, connect the new dlink to that one and do the setting up on dlink, which is automatic

      • shoppinginsyd on 17/05/2013 - 15:14

        thank you very much. how can I set the old one as bridge model ?

        • alvian on 17/05/2013 - 15:39

          Search: <model name> bridge mode

        • shinichiduy on 18/05/2013 - 22:26

          If you can give me the model, I can help

  • techno on 19/05/2013 - 09:29

    I have a Dynalink RTA1046VW. Would appreciate advice on the best way to connect the D-Link DIR-865L router without lossing my existing VOIP.

    • shinichiduy on 19/05/2013 - 14:33
      +2

      If you want to keep the VoIP, I guess that you have to leave your current dynalink as is and set up the Dlink to be an access point

      • techno on 19/05/2013 - 17:38

        Thanks, much appreciated. I'll look into setting up the D-Link to be an access point.

      • superforever on 19/05/2013 - 23:22
        +1

        Your Dynalink is a modem/router you have to connect it to the ADSL to get Internet access and if you want to keep it as your existing VOIP you can't change it much.

        So as shinichiduy said setup Dlink as access point.

      • techno on 20/05/2013 - 11:02

        Cool, will setup Dlink as access point and enable the faster dual band wireless. Will turn off the slow wifi on the Dynalink. Thank you both for the advice.

  • superforever on 21/05/2013 - 13:53

        The next day after saw this post when it was $84.

        I actually emailed them to ask whether they received my form and got reply after around 5 days.

        Another email from the senior manager said they received 600 claims need sometime to process.

  • hunter108 on 21/05/2013 - 18:04

    just bought 1 from JB Artarmon The Sales look up DSE price and match it. Quick and easy :)

    • netbies on 25/05/2013 - 22:56

      Damn. I went there last time, the manager wont do it. Say DSE price already reduced after the cash back, they will sell for 240, and you get $100 back which the same.

    Has anyone tried succesfully to get Shareport working yet?
    Have tried it on my iPad, S3, desktop and laptop with no joy.
    Phone connects but will not stream music, video but occasionally pics.

    • superforever on 22/05/2013 - 17:04

      You should already have your answer from Whirlpool.

      • killabob on 24/05/2013 - 12:22

        Are you stalking me? ;)
        I am using the Shareport Plus (as told on Whirlpool) on desktop at home…still stutters as does the music. Is it a hardware issue on my behalf or am i dillusional to think it will always run smooth from the "cloud"?

    I managed to get 2 of these in the end, one for me and one for a mate who was too lazy to come with me. Didn't realise that the limit is "one per household". You reckon they'll honour the invoice if we both send in a copy of it?

    • 1bug on 23/05/2013 - 13:16

      Go back to the retailer and see if they'll split the invoice (cancel the old one and issue 2 separate invoices).

      • andrewm666 on 23/05/2013 - 13:21

        Doh. Cheers. Was thinking I'd have to go back to JB. Was hoping not though.

  • illumination on 24/05/2013 - 18:18

    I bought one from JB Hifi on Tuesday
    Just tried to put in the serial number last night and says it's been used. I've emailed the contact address waiting for an update. They've told me they will investigate.

    • superforever on 25/05/2013 - 23:46

      Must be somebody told the serial number and use a difference invoice.

      They should do what Brother did before, they asked to cut out the serial number from the box and mail them.

  • loulou1 on 31/05/2013 - 15:22

    hi there, looking for some help. I 'bought' the router for my mother in law who was previously using non wireless internet. I need to get the old modem (speed touch 536)to talk to the router so that I can get Mum online wirelessly. (hope that makes sense). I was running the yellow cable from the modem to the router and then a blue cable from the router to the computer. the computer then recognizes the router but cant get on the internet if I take the blue cable out and put the yellow cable from the modem back into the computer it works again but of course is not wireless. rang tech support of Telstra for some help but all he wanted to do was sell me a modem router. He also said something about needing to have both the yellow and blue cable in the modem but there is only room for one of them in there. please help or I may have to go buy her a real present. thanks in advance and sorry if this is not the place to ask this. thank you

      This is most likely an ip-address conflict. Ring up d-link support and they will take your through the steps to fix it- i did and they were great!

    • Blackrose on 31/05/2013 - 19:33

      I'm running the same combo with no issues.

      You've got two options for the set-up:
      1: Bridge the Speedtouch 536, connect the 536 to the internet port on the D-link configure the D-link with the ISP log in details.

      2: Run the D-link as an access point to do this you need to.
      • Disable UPnP
      • Disable DHCP
      • Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router.
      • Connect the ethernet cable from the 536 to one of the LAN ports on the D-link, don't connect anything to the internet port on the d-link.
      See page 11 of the manual http://files.dlink.com.au/Products/DIR-865L/Manuals/DIR-865L…

      I'm running mine as an access point at the moment and have had no issues at all, how did you set the one you did up?

      • loulou1 on 01/06/2013 - 08:39

        I spent 4 1/2 hours on the phone with DLink and Telstra yesterday. I am now sitting in a corner of my study in a ball rocking back and forth LOL With STILL no connection happening. I have to stress that whilst I am not a complete idiot I am not that great with computers. Telstra said I cant change the modem from PPPoA, Dlink says I have to. I don't even know what the heck PPOA is!!! I am at the point of taking the dammn thning back and buying Mother In Law a wireless router modem thingo.

    • alvian on 12/06/2013 - 18:22

      I received the same e-mail too. Reassuringly D-Link says they will honour our claims just in case the mail was lost, as long as we can provide proof of purchase.

      My guess is that they have a huge backlog of claims and since the claiming window closes in 5 days, they are sending this e-mail to stop us pestering them with "did you get my mail?" enquires.
