mate ASUS DSL-AC55U Byo Modem Routers
Choosing a
modem router does not need to be a daunting task. There are a few things that
you need to consider that will help you make the right decision and ensure
that your internet connection performs well throughout your whole house.
size and material of the building
large and/or two story dwellings generally need a stronger Wi-Fi signal to reach around the whole house. Houses with lots of walls, particularly brick walls, also require a strong Wi-Fi signal from your modem/router.
number of devices connecting simultaneously
Is your whole family online at the same time? If so, you need a device that
can handle and prioritise that traffic to ensure a seamless experience for
everyone.
what you are doing online
If you are streaming videos, gaming online or uploading and downloading large
files, you will need a device that can support these activities with strong
Wi-Fi and multiple channels. Some devices allow you to also monitor your
network and prioritise certain devices to ensure a smooth experience.
We have made the below recommendations on devices that, in our experience,
provide what you need on nbnTM.
| entry level | mid range | high end |
|---|---|---|

IMPORTANT – if your MATE plan includes an nbnTM home phone (VoIP) service, you will require a modem/router with a VoIP/voice port. See some options for this below :
| entry level | mid range | high end |
|---|---|---|
| TP-Link Archer VR200v NetComm NF10WV | TP-Link Archer-VR600v D-Link DVA-2800 |
TP-Link Archer-VR2100v TP-Link Deco X73-DSL
Please note that we do not offer support for configuring BYO nbn home phone (VoIP) services.
We have seen firmware and configuration issues with many D-Link branded modems when used for a FTTN/FTTB nbn service, so we suggest speaking to the modem manufacturer before purchasing these products.
All of our above recommended products can be purchased from major electronics stores such as JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman and Officeworks, or online retailers such as Amazon.com.au. They come in a range of different options, depending on the size of your home.
