This router has a major bug in the DNS settings. It will cause slow internet.
I speet ages to do the research myself and fix the issue. Their customer support is a joke.

I bought this modem through tangerine nbn provider. They call it upgraded modem. This modem is working great so far. The speed is good and reliable. The price is okay

Previously used Ubiquiti router and a unifi link about 400 metres to our network. It would dropout and lose the connection very often. I thought that dropping down to a budget router would make it worse. I was setup to expect failure and to have to find another solution. I have been shocked that this router has been working for about 3 months and to date the dropouts have only been when the ISP has had a problem and emailed an outage notice. I am unable to explain why this budget modem performs better than the premium product did.

Bought this modem as we were changing internet providers.
Easy to use. Easy to configure and so far no drop outs or connectivity problems. Works perfectly with NBN. Happy with purchase. We don't need to boost the internet in our house - great coverage. We usually watch lots of youtube and netflix and a bit of gaming.

Bought this when my old faithful Netgear modem died as it was the nominally "supported" option for my planned eventual NBN provider Aussie Broadband. Big mistake. Couldn't even get past the first step of logging into the web interface set up and spent frustrating hours trying to troubleshoot the issue without success in what should been a very simple process. Only online tech support is offered which is pretty difficult to access when you have no internet! I plan to return this unit and ask for a refund. Will never buy a Netcomm modem again after this experience.

Easy setup.
Intuituve.
Netcomm reliability.
2 year warranty.
A brand that has stood the test of time (from the days of the dial-up modems).
Web interface easy to navigate.
Parental controls.
Don't waste your time buying anything else to save a buck.

dropouts dropouts dropouts!
i can't even keep a constant connection!!!! absolute garbage DO NOT BUY!!!
cheap garbage sitting in the garbage right now!!!!
NBN stands for national botched network!!!
got to love the LNP!

i brought for my NBN last year, and wait whole year for connction, finally got connect last month, when I start use this one, it keep drop out the connectinon, everytime I turn on my PC, all lights are green from modem but i can not get any internet. call the customer service and they tell me there is two years warranty, when i return the item, they tell me only one year (13 month after warranty) and refuse the exchange! i just waste 150 dollars and purchase another one.....

This router's wifi strength is below average.
Compared with an older, also cheap router (from Telstra 3 years ago), the NetComm has much lower wifi power. Even inside my small-ish house, in some areas I get mid-strength connection on devices. The old router was full strength everywhere in the house.
Overall this router looks and feels cheap.
It has extremely bright green flashing LED lights. In your house at night, this router shines and flashes like a cheap party light. Not cool.
I bought this router from Aussie Broadband. It is the router they sell and promote with NBN plans. Also not cool.

It’s the fastest modem I’ve used so far DVD the internet is never dropping out.
I’ve been watching on so many devices at the same time and not a problem.

Like most routers, this performs pretty well over 5GHz, but if you need to use 2.4GHz band due to its superior range, performance is a bit lacklustre. As with all Netcomm routers I've used, the software is not at all user-friendly.

New firmware is missing so much.
No ability to enable/disable VOIP. No ability to enable/disable or change priority of VOIP codecs.
2,4 wifi is very low range and drops out on some devices. Extremely bad with dell laptops and samsung phones.
USB storage option is a joke. Very slow and cannot be accessed from the web. Netcomm confirmed it is insecure and they block it from the internet.
LEDs are too bright and no way to dim them.

Love the fact that it has dual bands, the 2.4 GHz and 5 ghz, really needed a good router and tangerine offer this router for only $100, lowest price tbh

This modem was provided by our ISP. Since plugging it in, I haven't has to think about it much at all. Being dual band helps with managing older and newer devices. The browser-based settings page is easy to navigate.

Compared to our previous ADSL router, this device has a slight small signal range - but really we have it on a low stand behind the TV, yet it reaches most parts of our medium sized house/yard fine.

The VOIP is a nice feature to have, although in practice it rarely gets used.

This modem might be ok for people in a ground floor house, but in a two story townhouse the wifi is lacking. I'll probably need to get a Powerline adapter to try to increase the range to upstairs. The setup was easy and we haven't had many dropouts, but even downstairs the wifi isn't the best.

I always blamed it on Mate for poor speed and the gov for bad NBN. But I did speed tests today.. yes right next to the router it goes extremely fast.

But as soon as you go to the next room or step 6 metres away the speed decreases dramatically.

After a year I am over it and going to replace it with a Modem...that has antennas!

I am not talking bad. If you are working closely to the modem then this may be the one for you!

But definitely consider your RANGE before purchasing.
