    i have an archer d9 will the above be significantly better than the d9? the wifi drop outs and the interference with my arlo pro cams (only recently discovered) is now so bad that my 4g is more reliable!

      It's hard to say.

      Currently using an R7000. I'm starting to think all consumer aimed wireless is shit regardless. So I'm waiting for a deal on UniFi AP AC PRO (or the cheaper Lite) which seems to go for ~$150 on a good day.

      However you will still need a router to use the UniFi AP AC PRO. Probably going to build a PC router so I can VPN at a half decent speed apart from everything else.

      i just bought a d9 however got a asus brt-ac828 for business purposes. brt kills it. still using d9 for the modem component though.

      edit- sry noticed brt isnt in the above for what you meant. got mine for 430 with 20% off ebay futu online. Contemplated long and hard unifi/ubiquiti, yeah AP's are excellent but the switch and gateway heat (for the smaller passive non rackmount gear) kinda killed it for me. May upgrade to the rackmount 4pro one day or go down the OPNsense route..

      • AlexF on 17/03/2018 - 07:34

        brt kills it.

        In what way? For WiFi, it’s just another 4x4:4.

          Link Aggregation (yeh not much use here in oz yet), some better internals (peteYtesting thread here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2574711&#…)

          Runs nice and cool imo, at least mine has been and never seen anything adverse in threads. The M.2 mini nas type thing (albeit lacking redundancy, but hey it's ssd) is a nice feature. Plus a lot of business specific stuff if you need it.

          So it doesn't 'kill it' but it does meet a lot of SOHO requirements.

          Alot of positive and negative points in this thread - https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/internet-bandwidth-networ…

          As expected the firmware is the only real neg, everything else rock solid. I love it and considering rrp was $750 and targeted for SOHO I think $430 is a good deal. There's tons of great reviews on it all over the web, especially in regard to the SMB aspect.

    I really doubt $472 for a router is worth it (esp. considering nbn speeds for the majority of people).

    • AlexF on 17/03/2018 - 00:51

      In addition to distance and walls of a house, in a dense habitat, co-channel and adjacent channel interference will likely degrade wireless throughput so much that wired NBN connection is the least of problems.

      just wonder what NBN has to do with good, powerful router?

      • AlexF on 17/03/2018 - 07:45

        what NBN has to do with

        If most user traffic is to the internet then WAN Gateway is the bottleneck. Above, I’m emphasising that it may not be - practically, WLAN speeds are much much slower and variable than advertised.

        • Other on 17/03/2018 - 13:40

          Basic nbn connections are comparable to ADSL2+ connections (25mb). 802.11g = 54mbps - wheres the bottleneck?

          Of course different if your in a new estate and have fibre to the premises.

        • AlexF on 17/03/2018 - 14:09

          @TheMostHated:

          802.11g = 54mbps

          re-read what I wrote, and, if sceptical, set up an iPerf test for yourself.

    Not enough antennas

  • Jetkuma on 17/03/2018 - 09:45

    I bought this AC-RT 5300 for about 1 year ago. I have this paired with my ASUS PCE-AC88. I think it is overkill but I couldn't really say no to it since I have 100/2 Mbps with Optus. So far, I think i have been enjoying it since I download via wireless on steam which max at 12 Mb/s and holding constant at 10 Mb/s at night(10pm) to around 3pm. I utilize seedbox and download awayyy…..

  • Click_It on 17/03/2018 - 10:23

    Tempted to make the switch to NBN (FTTN) - actually my coexistence period ends in a few months so I need to make a move.

    I always intended to get a WIFI Router & Modem "all-in-one" but I'm thinking now if Modem + WIFI Router might be the better way to go. In which case I just need to find a cheap modem to plug this into. Any suggestions? On paper the Netcomm NF8AC looks reasonably capable (~$150). Then I could mate that to the ASUS RP-AC68U and have the whole setup for a few dollars over $300.

    EDIT: I'm a little confused between the RP-AC68U and RT-AC68U. Obviously they are designed to be connected together, the RP repeating the signal from the RT. So would the RP be the wrong device to buy to wire up to a dumb modem? Does it have it's own decent built-in WIFI ability or is it dependable on repeating what it's connected to? I thought I had it all figured out a second ago, now I'm confused.

      Scratch all that, I've chosen a completely different path.
