Our opinion

The no-fluff view.

EDITORIAL OPINION - BASED ON THE CITED RESEARCH
“A serious local-network product, not a better NBN 100 router. It only makes sense when the wired network and clients can use the headroom.”
Setup ease
9/10. App setup remains simple, but 10GbE, backhaul and MLO choices reward planning.
Planning allowance
$1,499. Indicative two-pack premium allowance.

Cons and watch-outs

What to verify.

Trade-offs and buying checks, not claims that a product is defective.

  • Very expensive.
  • Large overkill for mainstream NBN plans.
  • 6GHz still needs careful node placement.

Before buying, confirm exact ISP login, VLAN, BYO support and home-phone requirements. Wi-Fi coverage is never guaranteed from a floor-area claim alone.

For an RSP-supplied router, compare any hardware fee, required plan term, return obligation and locked provider features. For retail hardware, confirm Australian stock and the exact regional model.
