  If its FTTP you just need a router.

  VDSL Modem is required for FTTN or FTTC.

  ASUS RT-AC88U is an excellent router.

    No, FTTC only needs a router, same as FTTP - https://www.nbnco.com.au/residential/learn/network-technolog…

  I have an Asus RT-ac68u for a few years. They aging now but are still for sale at around $200. Asus has just recently updated the firmware so it can participate in home mesh networking. Dual band wifi faster than you are likely to use. One of my better tech purchases.

  I am also looking for a new modem/ router at the moment. Need FTTN VoIP. Why is it so difficult to find VoIP? Seems like it would be pretty standard.

  Was hoping for something with better wifi then the VR600v but not sure if I am going to find anything.

    Get a good modem or router, not sure if FTTN required modem, then buy a Cisco SPA112 VOIP adapter – https://www.megabuy.com.au/cisco-spa112-voip-gateway-p315281…
    If its FTTP/H, you don't need voip adapter https://iihelp.iinet.net.au/NBN_Fibre_Phone_Setup

      Thanks for the suggestion, that looks like my option if I want decent router specs.

      I am still struggling to comprehend why it is so hard to get VoIP in a router/modem in Australia.

  I've been happy with TP-Link stuff and they sell several VOIP-capable modems. Officeworks in Launceston had a TD-VG5612 (return) for $28, hard to beat that. The sticker says FTTN/FTTB/FTTH/FTTP - though NBN might have additional variations by now.
