Junk item

Don't waste your money on this. Downtime is very frequent on this router, old non updated software, and you can't even ping your own router. I don't know why this is the #1 recommended router at all

hi, i have just got on nbn fibre to the home and would like to buy a good router to my home and extend the wifi to my shed but as i read the reviews some say its just a router and i would need to buy a modem as well but others say it works well with the nbn just by plugging it in. is the nbn box in the garage a modem or do i need to buy this router and a modem .thanks paul

If it's NBN FTTH or fixed wireless, the box on your wall should suffice for the modem side. Your ISP or NBN will be able specify which port on the wall box you need to plug this router into, as there will be several.

Why does productreview describe this as a modem/router when it is only a router? Many people will waste money buying this when they are after a modem.

Because it is a modem router.

Well if it is I hope whoever has bought it hasn't had the issues I had with the Asus DSL-AC68U I bought instead. It dropped out my internet connection every few days and then would not reconnect unless I cycled the power to it. I eventually gave up and went back to my old Telstra Fast 5355 modem.

First of all I have to admit I am not a nerd when it comes to Wifi ect. I have purchased Asus RT_Ac68U because I have intermittent WiFI connection to my iMac. I have two computers the PC is attached to my present Modem/router an iinet TG-789 which is old. My iMac is in another part of the house.I am told I just need a modem to connect the Asus router. Problem is no one can tell me what modem I need or how to connect the Asus router. Help? Asus Service centre no help whatsoever.
