    A bit off topic but is it better to get dedicated modem and router or a modem router should do the trick? Also would this one be suitable for NBN?

      With an Asus router (e.g. RT-AC68U) and a separate modem you can run Merlin firmware (https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/) on the router for additional features. You can also pick the best (cheap) modem for your situation and run it in bridged mode.
      With a combined Asus modem + router you are limited to Asus' firmware only.

      I'm on NBN FTTN running Asus RT-AC68U with Merlin firmware and then a cheap $20 second-hand Telstra TG799VAC as my bridged modem. An example of what you can do with Merlin on the router - I run AB-Solution (http://ab-solution.info/) to block ads which works very well.

      • 4tran on 20/11/2017 - 11:46

        Thanks for the reply, total noob here but trying to set up my NBN that would maximise my speeds. Would your method work for FTTP? So it doesn't really matter if the modem is a cheap one as long as it is directly connected to the phone line/Ethernet?

        Also is the set up hard?

        • Knoxis on 20/11/2017 - 12:09

          You dont need a modem for FTTP or HFC. Buy a router and plug that into the NBN box.

        • L45er on 20/11/2017 - 12:27

          As per Knoxis' comment you don't need a modem on FTTP. So just buy a RT (router) version.
          Setup is pretty easy. Asus have a "Quick Internet Setup Guide" button in the management interface that steps you through the settings to get the internet up and running.

        • 4tran on 20/11/2017 - 12:34

          @L45er: Did not know this! Thanks! I think I'm favouring the router you mentioned RT-AC68U. But a quick search on ozb showed: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/327856. Is it hard to flash it and use the merlin firmware?

          Sorry for all the questions!

        • Knoxis on 20/11/2017 - 12:46
          +3

          Pretty straight forward. Download firmware from Merlin website. Unzip. Upload firmware via the router's page.

          @4tran: Note the one you've linked is a T-Mobile branded US version of the RT-AC68U called the TM-AC1900. It can be flashed back to be a RT-AC68U but requires a few steps to do it (http://www.bayareatechpros.com/ac1900-to-ac68u/). I'd assume it would also have a US plug so you'd need an adapter for AU.

        • 4tran on 20/11/2017 - 13:55

          @L45er: holy.. those steps looks complicated. thanks for your help though! I might save myself some confusion and get this deal instead!

  • Asur on 20/11/2017 - 10:47

    Ohh dear! just observed that ASUS has a limited number of stores participating -

    ARC
    Capitol Computer
    D&D Computer Technology Pty Ltd
    Dcomp T/A Nexcom
    Digital Star
    EYO Technologies Pty Ltd
    Fairstar Computer Centres
    IT365 Technology Pty Ltd
    IT Station
    IJK
    Impact Systems Technology

    Octagon Electronics
    Online Centre Pty Ltd
    PC Meal (Enovo Pty Ltd)
    Skycomp
    Techbuy
    Wireless1
    Umart Online

    So not sure if I will get the cash-back!

    Does anyone know if ASUS will honour a purchase from another ebay store?

      This isn't the full list. Scroll down farther to see stores from states other than NSW, as well as online stores. Sydneytec is on the online list. The question is whether ASUS will accept Sydneytec eBay purchases.

      • Asur on 20/11/2017 - 11:24

        O yes! that is correct.

      • hippyhippy on 20/11/2017 - 11:29

        why wouldnt they accept the ebay purchase? couldnt u just request that sydneytec send u a proper receipt?

        • Asur on 20/11/2017 - 20:56

          Looks like I will get the cashback for the eBay purchase as the seller has updated their listing with the Asus promo cashback signage :)

    • kulprit on 20/11/2017 - 11:56

      As below this can't be the full list.

      Harvey Norman has to be on it as they have exclusive sales of the RT-AC86U and DSL-AC88U.

    OzBers had reported various problems with the administration of ASUS's EOFY cash back offer. I hope it will be smoother this time around. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/320865

  • Tock on 20/11/2017 - 11:11

    Can get the same router with 5% off for $160.55 - sure, isn't a cash back store but given price hikes for eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-OEM-Asus-RT-AC68U-Wireless-A…

    EDIT: actually it is a T-Mobile variant, seller claiming it to be technically identical…

    • This is OEM version of Asus RT-AC68U AC1900 Wireless Router , from T-Mobile. Appropriate AU plug is provided, technically 100% identical to Asus RT-AC68U.
    • Latest official ASUS ASUSWRT firmware. If you would like to have Merlin firmware installed, please contact seller before 3PM"
    • Asur on 20/11/2017 - 11:16

      The price I had quoted earlier was for the Modem Router variant (DSL)

    Dammit, just bought one of these the other day with the Ebay 20% off sale. The other annoying thing is I haven't even received it yet.

  • Black Hole on 20/11/2017 - 14:47

    Seems like a recurring yearly thing from Asus. I was going to buy from wireless1 with 16% + extra 10% from eBay but was held back because I predict this will come.
    The extra 10% code is no longer valid but there is the 5% code available + $30 cashback.
    I believe there is a 10% code coming soon but the 16% from wireless1 may expired at that time.

    • Asur on 20/11/2017 - 16:25

      @bargain Zombies - which 16% code from Wireless1 are you referring to?

      You may be able to use PING20 at the SydneyTec ebay store, but am not sure if ASUS will honour an Ebay purchase for the cashback. I think it should as their T&Cs do not exclude Ebay.

  • Black Hole on 18/12/2017 - 06:11

    I have submitted the details to Asus a few weeks ago but so far no feedback from them.

    • tebbybabes on 18/12/2017 - 22:51

      I've submitted as well. Strange that there's no confirmation at all.
