    Telstra branded one?

      This is the best bet.
      Grab a Telstra Gateway Max 2 TG800vac off Marketplace or Gumtree.
      Telstra give out 2 versions, one manufactured by Arcadyan and the other by Technicolour. You need the Technicolour version and then hack it to unlock the SIM slot for use with other SIM's/networks.

      The Gateway Max 2 isn't the world's fastest 4G modem, but they're cheap and easy to get a hold of.

              @Reveen: different layout to mine, but the box in came in says gateway max 2. but the manual shows a flat unit, but a sqaureish unit was delivered, and layout different.

              Telstra hate me, so maybe it was payback for going to the tio and getting a lump sum payout for a disconnection of the wrong number.

              I know some older units needed a dongle.

              maybe try Telstra online community, they have some pretty smart people Telstra techs on there. post in morning works best

        @ESEMCE Can you have a look at my comments and image link above. I have the model you recommended but there is no SIM card slot?

          Shit sorry I've given you the wrong model number for a modem with no inbuilt 4G.
          Should have been the Smart Modem 2 DJA0231

          Genuine mistake running from memory and not checking the facts.

    i just want the modem/router to have multiple options in case i wanted to just go with 4g mobile broadband or use NBN without having to buy another device.
