Just picked one of these up for few dollar more at Bing Lee as a replacement for the NF18ACV and it worked straight out of the box, plug and play. No changing settings or configuration needed. Concurrent Dual Band: 867Mbps on 5GHz and 300Mbps on 2.4GHz

Much stronger WiFi connection for devices and getting near full 100/40 mbit.

Free pick-up or $10.95 delivery.

$89 at Bing Lee if you want it quick: https://www.binglee.com.au/asus-dsl-ac55u-ac1200-dual-band-w…

$169 full price at JB Hifi: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/asus-ac1200-dual-band-wi-…

  I assume this would be a big upgrade to my Belong 4353 modem router?
  Currently struggling with range to my main PC

    It is better to buy this.

      you reckon? The Tenda's seem so cheap compared to other brands. Do they actually work well? Are the TP Link M5's notably better?

        TP Link doesn't update their product's firmware long enough. Check about it online.

          @Geekomatic: TP-Link Deco M5 still gets updated even though it was released in 2017.

            @Twix: I'd hope lots longer, actually. Firmware updates should be 5 years min imho, on pricey hardware.

        I have been using them for a year and I am satisfied with the results.

        Deco M5 comes with a beefier CPU & more RAM to handle more connected devices at one time, Gigabit ports & has more powerful wifi radios. Who is your ISP?

        256MB of RAM.

        Take a look at some of the threads on Ozbargain about Tenda products before buying anything from them.

  Can I use this for my NBN connection? Will this ASUS be better compare to my Archer VR1600v?

    Yes you can use it for NBN VDSL connections. I don't think you'll notice much difference with your current unit.

      Ok. Thanks.
      I have question, I tried to block my oppo mac address phone but somehow the phone still can access internet as normal. Any idea?
      It works when I am blocking other device like samsung phone or laptop.

        No clue, sorry.

  I have a support-dropped TP-Link which never got a firmware update released for. Is this model also out of support, as well?

  • 

    Hybroid on 14/06/2021 - 22:24

    It had a firmware update ready to install when logging in at http://router.asus.com

    All functions seem to work normally.

  So this is good for people on NBN FTTN?

    If your NBN is run over VDSL out of your wall and you live in a small apartment then yes.

    If you live in a large house and want stronger WiFi coverage then at least triple the budget.
