  How does this compare to something like TP link Archer Pro?

      I meant performance wise.

  Why would you buy this from a company that a very shaky reputation right now? Recently acquired from a bankruptcy and generates their product photos with AI.

    The only review in Amazon provides one of the main reasons. Use it as an access point. In that usage, the 10Gbps upstream and that10Gbps LAN becomes somewhat attractive. Currently, 10Gbps switches are expensive and if you have a room that only has one 10Gbps LAN capable device, then it might be a cheap option (i.e. in the family room, where you mostly have consoles, but might have 1 mini PC capable of 10Gbps LAN).

    This router sort of have VLAN support (it is mainly designed for VoIP, but it is technically possible to use it as a poor man's managed switch. The included USB port could be used as a poor man's NAS (probably good enough for gigabit ethernet, but too slow for 10Gbps). VoIP ATA is kinda useful for me, but nowadays, I use VoIP app on mobile phones. Couldn't be bothered with cordless phones anymore.

  Latest firmware update is from 2023. From old thread: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/922773

    Firmware is a concern. That's why the person who bought it and reviewed it on Amazon used it as an access point. It could be handy if you have wired ethernet at home. Not every room needs a multi 10Gbps ports switch. If you don't have any 10Gbps LAN usage needs, then it is not worth considering.

    It's a real pity there is no open source firmware alternative (looks like the router uses a Broadcom chipset). It kinda has a bit of everything (VoIP ATA, USB (for storage only), VLAN (but rather limited)) but doesn't really do any of them well (I guess the VoIP ATA bit is fine, but hardly any home user uses VoIP ATA anymore).

      I bought it in the last deal and use it as an AP. Unfortunately that means the 10GbE WAN port isn't usable for anything.

      I requested GPL code from NetComm after seeing the manual said it uses UBoot.

      It is broadcom based. The file they sent is labeled bcm963xx_5.04L.02p1_consumer. So something from the BCM963 series. I gave up on hopes of installing OpenWRT after I saw that

      Edit: Looks like the SOC is BCM6858

        So you set the WAN port to bridge mode and that WAN port is still isolated? Checking the documentation, I found the following:

        Advanced setup

        Layer2 Interface

        ETH Interface

        The ETH interface page allows you to add or remove ETH WAN interfaces.
        Figure 24 – Layer2 Interface – ETH Interface

        Note – When the eth4 - ETH WAN Layer 2 interface is removed, the ETH WAN port will behave as an additional Ethernet LAN port.

        So, looks like it is possible that after setting the WAN port into bridge mode, the VLAN mux setup would still isolate the traffic on that port, which is something we generally don't want as an access point. So, Netcom setup this router in a way that it assumes even in bridge mode, one still cares a lot about ISP/RSP provided VoIP service (the older style where you need to use virtual circuits / VlanMuxMode hack for the VoIP connection).

        If you don't mind, could you look at figure 24 of the manual and remove eth4 from VlanMuxMode? With only 2 10Gbps ports, if the WAN port cannot be used in access point setup, then it defeats the main purpose for getting it.

          @netsurfer: It's very possible I missed some settings when I went through it the first time, I only did a quick scroll through to find relevant settings. I mainly just needed one fast port as an uplink.

          I appreciate the tip. Life's been busy, but if I get a chance to change it and check it I'll report back.

            @guyf: It's possible to achieve, but it is real pain because how lousy the firmware is. Warning: if you stuff up, you need to reset the router and start again, and that can happen. Took me 4 tries because I did mess it up multiple times. Also, if you are already using the router, backup the settings. If you don't know how to reset the router, don't attempt to do this.

            Here are the steps:

            One of the LAN ports on the router is connected to a PC.

            1. Update router password to something you can remember (need to do this because it is a pain to use the default password)
            2. Login to the router again (http://192.168.20.1)
            3. Advanced Setup -> WAN -> Service -> Remove all configurations. Essentially, make sure there is no WAN service.
            4. Advanced Setup -> Layer 2 Interface -> Remove eth4 VLan Mux Mode.
            5. Basic Setup -> Set to Bridging, no VLAN tag -> Apply / Save
            6. Advanced Setup -> Interface Grouping, Check eth4.1 is in LAN interface group. The first time the bridging it setup, for me, it shows everything is in the LAN interface group.
            7. Advanced Setup -> LAN -> IP Address: You need to set this to a static address (normally, for my main router, I only allocate a portion to DHCP so there is ample IP address for static IP), this has to be correct - i.e. 192.168.1.71. Disable DHCP server. Click Apply / Save.
            8. For now, don't use the WAN port just yet, connect another LAN port on this router to your main router.
            9. Login to CF60 using the static IP URL this time (i.e. http://192.168.1.71). Make sure it works.
            10. Make sure the PC you connect to CF60 can connect to the Internet.
            11. (Optional) If you use IPv6, disable DHCPv6, RADVD. Click Apply / Save.
            12. Turn off CF60.
            13. Connect the WAN port on CF60 to your main router (it was connect to a LAN port on CF60 previously).
            14. Restart / Turn on CF60.
            15. Wait and check, make sure everything is working.

            Note: Netcomm's firmware doesn't permit DHCP on the WAN port at all, so static IP must be set manually on CF60. Furthermore, the WAN port can only be used as an upstream port to the main router. You can't use it as a LAN port.

              @netsurfer: Thanks for the detailed instructions. I only really use it as a 2.4 and 6GHz AP, the rest of my network works fine without it. I'll give that a go.
              Cheers for the tip on DHCP on WAN, I think my current setup uses a DHCP reservation.
              Setting it up over SSH is probably not much good, the SSH connection on this device doesn't drop you into a proper shell, it's very limited.

                @guyf: If everything is working for you, best not to touch it. I tried ssh, it is not an linux shell. You only have a list of fairly useless commands to use.

                In step 8, there is a good chance you need to disconnect the LAN port to PC as well (due to subnet change).

                The firmware on this router is really awful.
