Just went into Officeworks Milton (Brisbane) store and did the price match today. Was originally planning on price matching to EB Game's price they had up yesterday when I did all my comparisons and they were $149.95. When I requested the price match at Officeworks they looked up on their computer and it showed the $128 sale price so I got especially lucky. Was kinda funny that the couple being served at the register beside me paying full price ($179) for the exact same modem router, and they were both paying half of it. Not sure when it ends sorry.

12/1: Price at Officeworks is now $128

    Great product, hoping for some good deals on D9 soon…

  • AngryAlfred on 07/01/2016 - 00:09

    Good price.

    Can anybody recommend some decent yet fairly priced antennas that support dual band? Mine just doesn't quite reach some corners of the house with the supplied ones.

    Can this or D9 use as Naked ADSL2+

    • nikon on 07/01/2016 - 01:28

      The D series (D2/D5/D7/D9) are ADSL2+ modems with gigabit whereas the C series (C2/C5/C7/C7) are just wireless routers with AC and gigabit
      The D20 and C50 just dont have gigabit

        I use my D7 AC1750 with "MYNETFONE" naked DSL and it runs great

          +1 I use my D7 with MNF aswell, works without adjusting anything

    Couldn't have helped them out with that?

      We need a motto on the front page: "Thou shalt assist others with savings"

        If they want to be helped……
        Some people, you can lead them the way,but up to them to want to save.
        Yesterday's shopping express micro sd card deal, prompted Dad to buy it, he replied “I don't know that store“ and proceeded to pay a lot more from Harvey Norman.

        I often try and help people with beter prices/cheaper prices…….often met with “too much hassle” “can't be bothered” or strangers just looking at you strangely

        But yes, I agree with your motto and appreciate other OzB`ers tips and advice and help.

        • lordra on 07/01/2016 - 23:29

          Happens to me all the time. I learn my lesson and don't bother helping those people in the future,that's all. Their loss, not mine. I hear those exact lines, so many times… Oh, it's only twenty bucks, oh I can't be arsed to pick up on store, I'll pay 12 bucks delivery, I wanna see what I buy so I'll buy it in store and pay full price.

          If I had a penny I tell you…

  • juzz0 on 07/01/2016 - 03:06

    Purchased it a few months ago (during this: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/219541). Goes fine, might buy billion next time. I remember the worker at my local store told me she was glad to get rid of it as it had been gathering dust for over a year on the top shelf.

  • iamcerberus on 07/01/2016 - 08:15

    Grabbed one of these the other week using Officeworks price match (EB website had them at $150 but instore was $128). FYI - EB seems to have hardware v1.0 (green text on boxfront) vs Officeworks v1.1 (blue text). Not sure if there is any difference though. I like the interface much better than other offerings D7emulator.

  • RichieDuck on 07/01/2016 - 08:31

    Thanks dude price matched at OW Elizabeth Street Melb, had been looking for a modem / router for a while. One still on the shelf if anyone is keen.

  • Pulseidon on 07/01/2016 - 10:15

    What's the difference between the D7 and the C7? I see someone said the D series are ADSL2+ modems with gigabit whereas the C series are just wireless routers with AC and gigabit - but what does that actually mean? (I'm in the process of moving into a share-house and getting the internet set up)

    • Domingo on 07/01/2016 - 10:21

      No modem, so you need separate modem. A C series (router) would work where you are plugging into a cable modem or similar. A D series (modem/router) would work too, with the modem disabled. So typically a modem/router is priced higher than an equivalent router.

      • Pulseidon on 07/01/2016 - 10:24
        +1

        Ah cheers - so I'll just be able to plug the cable from the wall into the D7 and we're good to go (essentially)?

        • montorola on 07/01/2016 - 10:46
          +1

          Yep, all you need is your ISP username and password, and you're done. It took me just 5mins to setup my D7.

        • Pulseidon on 07/01/2016 - 10:53

          Thank you!

        • Brouw3r on 07/01/2016 - 12:05

          Depends what you mean by cable. Our old coax cable needed a modem router, our NBN just needs the router.

        • Pulseidon on 07/01/2016 - 12:29

          @Brouw3r: I'm not sure what sort of connection we'll have yet (I know NBN isn't available in the area) but I guess the D7 covers all bases

      • churchado on 07/01/2016 - 12:58

        @ Domingo So, if I have cable modem already, I can still use this as a router with modem disabled? How do you disable the modem - just a setting in the software?

        • Domingo on 07/01/2016 - 15:57
          +2

          There's typically a setting called "Bridge Mode". Put the router into that and run a LAN cable from the port on your cable modem to the WAN port of the router and you're all set.

        • churchado on 07/01/2016 - 19:11

          @Domingo: I understand that, have bridged to a router before but never a modem/router. Just wanted to ensure there were no issues doing that.

        • daft009 on 08/01/2016 - 11:06

          @churchado: yes, its fine to do.
          I have one of these, had ADSL2+.
          Then got cable and turned the D7 into a router only.
          Running that way for ~12 months now.

          EDIT: there are 4x ethernet ports on the back, one of them becomes the WAN port (from the cable modem) and the other 3 ports are for other devices/switches etc.

  • timmypete on 07/01/2016 - 19:03

    Carnegie, Victoria had a ton of stock (~20) on the capping near the front to the store, but none on the shelf. Staff were pleasant enough getting two down for me and price matching.

  • webtherapist on 07/01/2016 - 21:38

    can anyone post image of OW receipt please for pricematch at local store, they asked to check stock avilability at local EBGames to pricematch and refused to do so when EB website states No Stock At This Area :(

  • alex27 on 07/01/2016 - 21:52

    Great, I will get one tomorrow and return my $200 still in box Belkin AC1200 to jbhifi.

  • DarkMatter0 on 08/01/2016 - 10:46

    I have called EB Games Hornsby, Top Ryde store and none of them has stock.
    They also checked nearby stores, no stock.
    Anyone got it in Sydney?

    • scraggers on 08/01/2016 - 12:39

      I price matched at officeworks North Sydney. Got it cheaper.

      • DarkMatter0 on 08/01/2016 - 13:58

        Thanks for the info.
        Did they call any EB games store to check stock?

        • scraggers on 08/01/2016 - 15:45

          Nope just looked at their site

    • churchado on 09/01/2016 - 08:20

      Out of stock in Pitt Street (not back until 28 Jan according to the store)

  • alex27 on 08/01/2016 - 16:05

    Carnegie out of stock or the lady is too lazy to check for me, but get one in Chadston OW for 5% less, still has 10 unit left on shelf.

  • MichaelGC on 08/01/2016 - 21:09

    I priced matched at Officeworks Lewisham, NSW this afternoon.

  • danwylie on 10/01/2016 - 15:11

    Cheers! Did the price match at officeworks for about $121. Had been slowly driven insane by my old modem and the new modem has completely disappeared from my consciousness. Which is the sign of good technology.

  • jl70 on 11/01/2016 - 09:33

    Bought 2 of these. Great post, thanks very much. These are solid devices, highly recommended especially at this price! :)

  • megadeth on 09/02/2016 - 19:54

    My experience with TP-link is limited to a PCI Wireless 802.11n NIC which was buggy. That was of course a few years ago. Interested to know your thoughts if you've used this router. Also how'd the performance be in a concrete walled single storey house (where placing it in the middle of the house isn't really an option)? Thanks in advance.
