ASUS DSL-AX82U AX5400 Dual Band MU-MIMO WiFi 6 Modem Router.
A good all-in-one modem and router option for FTTN/FTTB if you don't want to have a separate modem and router. $349 is lowest I've seen - lower than UK Amazon and equal to historical low.
Not sure about delivery, I was able to pick it up in Auburn NSW, there's stock in other stores/states too.
I'd also expect JB Hi-Fi to price match (they currently sell it for $449).
PSY website looks exactly like Umart with different colour lol
It's almost like Umart own them :)
i heard MSY is now indeed owned by Umart
Their address is 46 Dividend Street, Mansfield 4122 QLD which is Umart’s address.
Really good modem/router. JB had them for $299 late last year which I couldn't pass up. Really easy to setup and I like the ASUS firmware.
GNUtons build of the Merlin firmware extends it even further :)
$322.80 for those wondering
This guy here is doing gods work
Also Amazon UK so gonna be UK plug
Different version (no modem)
Good pick up
Will this work for FTTP NBN?
Yep you want the RT-AX82U for FTTP. I wouldn't get the UK version.
I got it from JB for $325 with the ask for a deal thing online. However I've spent 3hrs trying to connect it without any success, spoke to the ISP and they confirmed I've done everything right. I'm completely stumped after doing a firmware upgrade, several restarts and factory resets. Still go connection with the old Telstra Gen 2 (ISP is tangerine though now), so pretty disappointed. Maybe I got a dud. FTTN connection.
I'll give you Asus setup instructions if you still have it. Did you wait at least 30 minutes before plugging in the Asus?
Had no issues using mine with TPG FTTB, had a preset for it even as for a good bunch of other aussie ISPs
Take it back, jb are cool. Swap for a router and bridge your Telstra Unit.
Telstra Gen 2 are great for FTTN sync speeds. Used them till I upgraded to FTTP.
Just had a read of the first review on MSY/deal link, might be worth a try:
"Modem is fast with multiple users and provides good coverage throughtout the house. Had an issue getting a dsl sync with telstra nbn, solved by changing mac address."
You don't need to change your mac address. Wait at least 30 minutes for the DHCP lease to expire. Now you can plug in the Asus and set it up.
There is an odd setting.in Asus routers to get them to work with FTTN.
Go into the router's setup page, then under Advanced Settings > click on LAN > click on IPTV tab > under LAN Port select Manual Settings from the list of ISP's > set Internet VID to 2 and PRIO to 0.
Tangerine and most ISPs don't use a VLAN ID. Changing the VLAN ID to 2 only applies to certain ISPs - mainly TPG and iinet.
When did you ask for a deal? I've asked today on live chat and the best they could do was $344.
dont forget the jb $10 perks discount at check-out after asking for best price via their online chat support.
this would be a good alternative to those crappy isp provided modem routers if it had voip but then again isps in general dont give out voip details so using a voip ata is pointless
im surprised there arent more high end modem routers with voip, i guess it's very niche and you're better off buying a mesh/ap setup whilst using the voip modem as the endpoint
Good price. It's a shame they don't have any for delivery, as i'm nowhere near any store for c/c lol :-(
I'm waiting for a tri band deal
Got one of these in the last deal. Absolutely stoked with it. Much better than the D-Link Taipan I replaced. Best FTTN modem i've ever used and a great price. There is also an Asus app that gives you full control of the modem from your phone or tablet.
Thanks for the review!
I have the D-Link Taipan DSL-4320L AC3200 modem router too.
Looking to replace it with either this deal ASUS DSL-AX82U AX5400 modem router, or with the TP-Link Deco X73-DSL AX5400 Mesh WiFi 6 modem router.
Seems like the Asus one is more popular?
I looked at both as well, the Asus had many positive reviews and was available at the time. I was just mainly sick to death of all the issues with the D-Link (Constant dropping of the 2.4Ghz wifi) and the fact that it hasn't had a firmware update for 5 years. These both have wifi6 and I have had no issues at all with the Asus.
Asus has a traditional web interface login with more customizable settings, app for your phone and Asus AiProtection is free.
TP-Link Deco's are mainly controlled on your phone, there is a limited web interface and TP-Link Homeshield has free and pro subscriptions. Refer to the TP-Link Deco X73-DSL user manual.
Thanks! Decided to go with Asus since it has more customisable settings.
Ask deal through live chat and is offered $345.
Setup is easy and works well with TPG FTTB so far!
This is $329 atm at Umart for the next 5 days. I managed to get JB to match it online so saved some on postage compared to Umart.
