  What's the difference between this and the 86U?

    +1

    86U hands down better faster processor beefed up 68U better for vpn

    88U different designed slower processor

        No worries none of these routers are worth it for NBN 100mb

        68U can handle 100mbit QoS and a couple of 68U's off ebay for $70-100 is the best bang for buck for a larger house (better still if you've had one for a while and get another for cheap)

        When we get into 200mbit plus then it's worth upgrading

        Unless you want to VPN your whole house then I suppose 86U is the best

          @s3n: What would be the best router out now for NBN 100mb? What should I look for?

            @jeolefmo: It depends what you need eg. a power user for the home may need high speed wifi (500mbit+), QoS, OpenVPN

            86U can handle Qos + OpenVPN up to about 150mb while 68U would struggle with OpenVPN because it doesn't have a crypto chip (so you'd have to VPN your media boxes, devices etc. individually)

            If you need more coverage you'd add a 68U or 86U on aimesh

            Your alternative would be a Ubiquiti routers (or even a pfsense box) and some mesh/wifi AP's (lots of those to choose from)
