    Good price but does not look like OZB favorite ( many negative comments).

  • cardiology on 03/05/2015 - 16:00

    Only 2.4GHz single band though.

    For around $20, it would be worth keeping even if only as a "spare" or to troubleshoot network issues in your home.

    Thanks, OP.

      For most folks, it makes more sense to buy a proper, long-term modem/router for $120-150 and keep your ISP-bundled one as a spare.

  • 10101010101 on 03/05/2015 - 16:56

    Picked one up now there's Two left at Doncaster. Also plenty of Netgear ones of a similar specification for a few dollars more. Belkin has lifetime warranty.

  • Chik5555 on 03/05/2015 - 17:16

    That seems like a great price. I used to have that one. Lasted a few years before it broke. No clue where the receipt was for warranty (didn't try without it).

  • Regie69 on 03/05/2015 - 17:18

    Can reach speeds of up to 300 Mbps
    Not that fast is it. Get a few on network and it wouldn't move

    • hollykryten on 03/05/2015 - 17:57

      Should be over 15mb/s speed let alone more. Even N150 can do 10mb/s. How much are you going to have on this network some thing like 30 clients?.

      It's not as if this is old 802.11G WiFi.

      • Arch1818 on 03/05/2015 - 18:11

        Mbps is different to mb/s. 1 mb/s = 8mbps

        In theory this router can handle maximum of 37.5 mb/s which in RW it wont be happenning. Good for a spare though

        • hollykryten on 03/05/2015 - 18:32

          Should be still plenty fast enough for a few WiFi clients.

          As I said it's not as if it's old 802.11G 54mbps WiFi. Should be at least 15mb/s throughput speed if the WiFi client is relatively close to the N300 WiFi router.

          Wrong again.
          Mbps is different to MBps
          Its the b/B which is either Bits or Bytes.

        • geoffellis on 03/05/2015 - 19:52

          @hollykryten:

          Yes, theoretically it can get up to 37.5 mbps. I get at least 32mbps on the Wireless N router I have. If mine only supported 15mbps I would be wasting a whole lot of available bandwidth (I know I can get at least 32mbps out of my internet lol).

          But really - internet in Australia pretty much tops out at 35mbps. Doesn't matter if your router can handle more. The most you're ever going to get is 35 - if you're really lucky. so 1 person or 5 - you have the same limit.

          The only time this really comes into play, is if you're transferring files wirelessly over wifi. If you do this frequently you might want a fast home router. but its far more than enough for your average internet or streaming purposes.

    can you set this this up as a wireless access point, connected via ethernet?

  • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2015 - 18:19

    Does it work with NBN?

    • hollykryten on 03/05/2015 - 18:37

      It's an ADSL wireless modem. I don't think so.

      You'd want a wireless router for NBN.

  • BradH13 on 03/05/2015 - 20:42

    I'd use this is a spare only. These routers are absolute junk if you have lots of clients hanging off your network (eg. most households these days).

    Specs mean nothing in the real world.

  • EarthMan on 03/05/2015 - 23:45

    I might get one to use as modem only and bridge with my netgear r7000 router.

  • EarthMan on 04/05/2015 - 10:21

    Clarence Street/Sydney had 2 more left when I got mine this morning. They were not on the shelve btw, so call before you go there.

  • jackdao on 04/05/2015 - 10:25

    You can use this dumbass as an AP to extend home wifi range.

  • CandyMan on 04/05/2015 - 10:46

    Got the last one from ow Greenacre
    If u want simething better they have netcomm n 600 gigabit modem router with 2 USB port, one of them for USB 3G/4g modem for $55

  • jh084 on 04/05/2015 - 10:55

    picked one up cheers @ Keysborough 3173, still has about 4, tag on shelf is @ 48.25. I think it's a mixture of old and new stock as some were unsealed and different looking boxes

  • Gavman on 04/05/2015 - 11:30

    Decent basic modem.

  • AssociatedSeeKo @ Officeworks on 04/05/2015 - 12:40

    It's pretty cheap but not the greatest router in existence.

    went into office works to get one of this but ended up buying the higher model Belkin AC1750 for $124.53

  • ds4 on 04/05/2015 - 17:50

    i got it for $15 bucks.. the box was open.. :)
    this will look after my parents for another couple of years..

  • bjdchwr on 04/05/2015 - 19:37

    I am using this Belkin product as a bridge modem only and have used another openwrt based router to do the NAT and wireless stuff. This device is quite stable working as a modem only device.
    However, as someone mentioned, this might not be the broadcom chip so it might not be the best one in the market. It's cheap so you know…

    I will swap to Cisco 1841 (less likely to be 2821 as it's very noisy) in the future. I am doing CCNA now.

  • CandyMan on 04/05/2015 - 22:53

    Just installed the modem and connected it to air port extreme
    Giving much better connection than by old Belkin 54g modem router
    I did an internet speed test and now I'm getting full bandwidth
    I hope there's no future problems

  • noskich on 15/05/2015 - 21:37

    Can anyone please recommend a cheap (under 50$), but reliable modem-router to be shared by four people. Our connection is around 10 mbps on TPG. No need for any advanced features or anything special, just need something that simply works most of the time.

    • 10101010101 on 16/05/2015 - 10:58
      +1

      I'm using this on TPG at the moment. But I have another two routers connected to it.

      In general, they recommend this one for up to 3 devices only. But if you buy two of them and link them together, you'll have a perfect setup for up to 6 devices provided that you assign 3 devices to each router. The Belkin has a self-healing mode (i.e. auto scheduled restarts) which should also help. Get it set up to reboot in the early hours of the morning when no one is likely to be using it and i'll keep it going steady.

  • BongoBong on 21/05/2015 - 10:18

    Hmmm, may have to grab this to replace the shitty sagecom modem that came with my optus service. I would mainly want it so I could set my own DNS servers which the sagecom modem can't do.

    edit. No stock around me so no go

      Do you have the sagem fast modem? The firmware is buggy but from memory if you do a factory reset you can set the DNS but after that it disappears
      My sagem was dying though as whenever I unplugged it and plugged it in again it would take hours to reconnect to tpg. But it was reliable and got better sync speeds than my Belkin. Best just to go with Belkin

      • BongoBong on 21/05/2015 - 10:50

        Yah I have the fast 3864 modem/router. Didn't see anything about that online but may have to do a bit more digging. If you recall, when you did the factory reset you then had to do some setting up and during that time you were able to set the DNS?

        • 10101010101 on 21/05/2015 - 11:32

          Yep pretty sure. I have the 1201 though.
