Steven Hinchliffe Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Item: Asus RT-AC88U Router - one of the best wifi routers on the market, and with 8 LAN ports to boot!Location: WollongongPrice: $350 postedItem Condition: Unboxed, but newReason for selling: Thought it was going to work as an NBN Modem- which it will if you have fibre to the premises, but unfortunately I got stuck with rubbish copper fttn... :-(Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: Fantastic router with a great user interface, super fast and reliable wifi, and 8 LAN ports; absolutely one of the best routers on the market at any price. I bought it to replace my basic 4-port modem/router but unfortunately it needs a FTTP service to work as a modem, so no good for where I live. Why are we still living in the electronic dark ages in this country?!!!! Anyway, rant over, but grab a new router at a bargain price!!! Pictures: Pm me if you need them, it's brand new, and was only unboxed long enough to figure out it wouldn't work for me, then back in the box it goes...

BTW the reason we live in the electronic dark ages in this country is our politicians. They could not organise a chook raffle down the pub let alone something like the NBN.

SteveC Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have one of these at home. Been rock solid and the extra LAN ports are handy. You could use your existing router by switching off the DNS etc just to feed this to do all the routing/wireless etc. Thats how I use mine off a Telstra Cable Modem.

doomigee2 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have one of these and also agree its brilliant. Good price too GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Hinchliffe Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks folks for your support. I recently moved house and went from FTTP to FTTN; what a bloody debacle our NBN is, and that any communications minister would pull the pin on FTTP for all metropolitan Australians is just a sad, sad joke. Turnbull, for this and many other reasons, sucks. I thought about just using it as a router with my current modem, but it's such a waste as I only bought it for the extra ports and I don't run wifi at home, so a cheap 8-port switch is a much less wasteful option. Hopefully someone will get good use out of this excellent router... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr green Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Keep it, you can still make use of it. Put your ISP modem in bridge mode and use the router to do the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have the AC-68 model, do you know what the differences are? I am trying to justify the upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Hinchliffe Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 From memory it has an updated user interface, superior WiFi, and 8 ethernet ports vs 4. Just heading to work but a quick Google will confirm if that's correct. Just remember you need fttp for it to work as a modem. [emoji5] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I would only use it as a wireless router, I dont have NBN at the moment so am using ADSL2+ and Cable and have dedicated modems for both.
