  • even more expensive than ubiquiti. incredible

      How so?

      The closest you can get to this would be a dream machine pro and a wifi 7 access point (ignoring the 2.5gpbs switches)
      Or the new cloud gateway max + wifi 7pro (no 10gbps on this)

      Both of which are $800 to $1000, at minimum.

      • 3x u7 pro ($339/each) + 1x ucg-max-ns ($511/each) is $1528 (without shipping), also the max-ns is from tech geeks so could buy from diff store and save a little.

        3 pack of this is 1.8k pretty much

        albeit no 10gbe on the max-ns, could change to a udm pro for an extra $234 (mwave) and still be under this at $1762 AUD

        also don't have to pay for shitty eero plus (https://eero.com/eero-plus)

        • Oh you are comparing their retail price. I see

          Well still, you are comparing a router+AP to a AP, albeit yes it does do the same thing so fair.

          I’d be interested see their through put with all the security features on. Udm pro is really old hardware now and udm se is not as current, depending on their processing power, these might still have merit. Certainly at these price for people who want things that just work.

          That said I am looking at getting ubiquiti stuff too. But there just ain’t anything that’s reasonably priced that is current hardware…

  • on a sidenote Leaptel is the only provider offering 12 months discounted pricing for their top plans.
    $74.95 for 100
    $89 for 250
    $99 for 1000

    • Side, side note lol. I plan to go with Leaptel, launtel or….there was one other possibility. Can anyone vouch for leaptel? their prices are extremely good at the moment and plan to do the $89 plan

      • +2

        They are okie I am on the $99 for 1000mbps I am yet to go past 550mbps tried all times of the day will give it a miss ones the whole year is up

        • Are you measuring directly on the nbn modem or through your router?

      • +1

        just came off 12 months with them, local support which is nice. easy to turn cgnat off (via their management dashboard). the dhcp address isn't sticky and changes from every NTD restart (not sure if this is important to most). I only moved because the discount ran out.

      • +2

        I'm on them at the moment for HFC gigabit.
        Usually 950+Mbps.

        One think I have noticed vs superloop/exetel is that leaptels outages are longer.

        The other day we had a 7hr planned outage, understand these may be NBN backend but I don't recall having anything longer than 2-3 hours previously

        • +2

          7 hours of outage is crazy in 2024!

          Currently debating on superloop as a contender as well. Interesting though.

      • I was with leaptel for one month and this was my emails from then for that month.
        https://i.ibb.co/VtbzbgL/Screenshot-20240912-183317-Gmail.jp…

        Everysingle one of them except for two was an email about maintnance for different days and times, 6 maintance emails between 13th June to 29th of June, that top email is me canceling leaptel.
        On top of this i had issues connecting to some games multiple days in a row intermittently.

        I switched back to Launtel that i had been with previously for multiple years with no issues.

        • Not exactly encouraging, leaptel was def a frontrunner, maybe not so much anymore. Out of curiosity and if you don't mind me asking, are you in a house/apt complex? apparently with apartments its worse

          • @ignited141: Im in a house.

            Yeah it was disappointing, i switched to save some money but i received a similar amount of maintenance emails in that one month than i did in the last 4 years with Launtel.

            • @Axelstrife: @Axelstrife I know it's very case by case basis, but i honestly think thats enough to put me off, Superloop are also offering the modem for free if i stay connected for 24 months which is great

              • +1

                @ignited141: Good luck, they where my second choice but i didnt need the router and Leaptel where cheaper.
                I may try again with Superloop.

        I am on Leaptel $99 12 months 1000/50 plan. I am on average getting 930 mbps on off peak times and usually 915mbps other times with rare once in a while exception where I have seen the connection go down to as low as 850 mpbs. It really actually depends on the quality of the physical connection and how many people are sharing from the same node. I was with Tangering before and I was getting similar speeds. Overall I would say Tangering is marginally better in terms of stable connection and also technical support as compared to Leaptel, but really Leaptel is pretty allright too, so far. But that is just my personal experience with both RSPs so far, it may be completely different for another person which is understandable and expected.

        • @GameBunny Fair enough, I'm in a very small apartment block of 4 units but it's also FTTC rn,so not actually sure what the line is capable of doing. Atm based off axel, i'm more inclined to go to superloop as if theres no issues, they would give the modem free if i stay connected for 24 months, i'll also be the only one in the apartment….so a decent case for me i guess

          • @ignited141: I am on FTTP not FTTC,may be that is why I am getting 930 mbps on an average may be, kind of same between Tangerine and Leaptel. The Telstra NBN under the road node from where I am getting the connection is about two houses next to me, may be that helps too, so far lucky I guess.

  • +3

    I wonder if I can guess the price for 4.

  • just got a Xiaomi BE5000 Wifi7 for $80… lol

    • Not tri-band eh?

      • nah dual.. though $520 for an extra band and some better ports seems excessive :) this unit streams VR perfectly to my Quest 3 from PC. while also servicing the kids gaming, wife watching netflix. don't think i need the 3rd Band :)

        • I agree. I’m just waiting till these prices drop, too much coin for a shiny lil thang.

  • This would increase internet speed as compared to wifi 6? Or just the bandwidth? How about latency? Browsing?
