    Was $429 yesterday when I was searching for a mesh setup for my new FTTP upgrade.

    Officeworks has it too for the price beat

    I bought these a while ago and completely forgot one of the devices is a router too 😂

    Switched from Optus hfc to exetel hfc and went to jbhifi wanting to buy a modem before closing. Retail assistant told me I had a router already when I told her my setup!

  • Killua27 on 20/04/2023 - 10:32

    Does anyone know if these are good for FTTN? Bit of a newbie with this stuff.

    • MrFunSocks on 20/04/2023 - 11:35

      These have nothing to do with if FTTP/FTTN/Cable/etc. They're for once the internet is coming in to your house. You can use them for any type of internet that requires a router/modem.

      • Killua27 on 20/04/2023 - 12:02

        Thanks, so I would attach the router to the modem/router and the other points throughout the house?

        • MrFunSocks on 20/04/2023 - 14:02

          Yep, that's it. Your NBN box's phone line/ethernet would plug into the router one of these, and then you position the other ones around your house to expand the reach of the wifi :)

          • scuderiarmani on 20/04/2023 - 14:11

            @MrFunSocks: He won't have a nbn box with FTTN.

            He'll need a modem, preferably something like a Telstra Gen 2 bridged.

    • melbourne guy on 20/04/2023 - 14:56

      You need a VDSL2 modem for FTTN, which you can then plug Google Wifi into. If your modem comes with a wifi router built in (and I'm assuming you don't want to use it's wifi because you are interested in Google Wifi), disable it so you don't have another wifi network you won't use running unnecessarily. This is the setup I've done at my folks' house.

      • borgainerz on 20/04/2023 - 19:50

        This,

        in addtion, to avoid double NAT or small lag, you need to put your modem into bridge mode, and the Nest Wifi will become your only router.

        I just grabbed a Nest Wifi Router + 1 Access Point for $100 on FB Marketplace, pretty good deal. Turn out the Nest Wifi Router alone is powerful enough to cover my whole 2BD aprtment, I don't need to plug the access point. It is faster and cover more than my TP-Link AC1200 modem/router.

        I just returned the TP-Link to Amazon and bought a used modem on Marketplace again for $20. There are plenty for cheap. Will work like a charm for your FTTN installation.

        • Killua27 on 21/04/2023 - 07:34

          Thank you appreciate it.

    • borgainerz on 20/04/2023 - 19:52

      Honestly that's plenty enough for me, I don't see how a faster NBN co and faster WIFI could improve my life. already streaming without lag, and I am not a pro gamer.

    I've got these and they're very good, but have some very real downsides. You can't control/choose to join a 2.4ghz or 5ghz network manually, you can only choose the single network, and this has caused some problems with some devices since they only work on 2.4ghz but just won't join the network because it wants to put them on 5ghz. Managing the network is also pretty crap, all having to be done through the mobile app - there's no router login page you can just visit on a PC browser.

    On the plus side, they are super simple to get a mesh network going and the app does have some great features.

      I've had mine over a year now and they've dropped out too many times for my liking. A simple power off/on fixes it but it's still annoying.
      And yes the inability to connect small appliances to the 2.4Ghz is sooo annoying. I read up the fix is to walk away far enough for the 2.4ghz frequency to kick in but then I won't have a powerpoint since i'll probably be down the road. Absolute ridonk and I feel it's an easy fix software-wise by Google.

      • Shon on 20/04/2023 - 12:01

        I've done this multiple times. Connect device to a power bank and run down the road…

        I have had to do this a few times haha. Luckily it was for wireless things, but yeh if they need mains power then you're kinda out of luck haha.

        I've had one of the mesh endpoints drop out a few times and like you a power off/on fixes it, but the other 2 and the main one itself have been fine.

    • ronnknee on 20/04/2023 - 13:57

      The access points randomly lose connection. Have to manually switch on/off, recently found a solution by getting a smart plug and remotely turning it on/off to reset it.

      Feel like they should be more reliable for the premium price we pay.

  • ThymeTraveller on 20/04/2023 - 11:56

    Used to use Apple Airport (Time capsule + A few Express), changed to Google Nest and it has been the worst WiFi devices I have ever used.

    Wouldnt be recommending this in 2023.

    Plenty of update problems for many, including myself on multiple occasions. Wouldn't dare touch them again.

    Great initially…

      For $300 for the router and 2 wifi points it's a steal I think. I've had them for years and they definitely have their problems (in some of my posts above), but at this price I'd recommend it. For $300 just for the router then another $300 per wifi point? Nah, probably not.

        I switched to TP Link Deco never had a drop in 6 months.

        Last years late Google update had literally 100s of micro drops.

        I've also had previous units die after a year for no reason. Magically stop broadcasting Wifi.

  • dtox on 20/04/2023 - 13:59

    Why no pro version available in Australia? I'd consider buying that model!

  • chris666 on 20/04/2023 - 14:19

    Do these cap your internet at half speed like the first gen ones do?

  • McFly on 29/04/2023 - 21:28

    These weren't even that good to start with, let alone now that they're obsolete.
