seems good enough from the reviews ive read but any inputs appreciated.

cheers

So TP-Link makes good stuff on the cheap, so yea.... its probably not awful.

 

But, I would highly recommend that you get a dedicated modem and a dedicated router.  You'll be so much better off.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

i doubt it since i get like 17 down and barely 1 up whats the point in spending more than 100 for that? which im guessing getting separate will be.

The idea of getting a dedicated modem and router is 2 fold.

 

#1 Heat Output. A modem and a router put out a LOT of heat.  They are passivly cooled, meaning they dont have a fan to keep them cool.  So what happens when you put both of these in the same enclosure?  TOO MUCH HEAT.  Heat is the DOWNFALL of electronics, especially networking, and even more so wireless networking.  Heat near the source of wireless signal is going to degrade it drasticly.

 

#2 Failures.  If a part fails, or you decide to upgrade later, now you're forced to spend even more money.

 

Edit:

 

#3 Grainular control.  With a dedicated modem and router you'll be able to set them up accordingly so you'll get EXACTLY what you want out of each one.  It will be less hassle with a more percise control of all of your settings.

not on Aus one, and the us one says it wont ship to Aus, probably because of wall socket differences i would assume.

They wont ship because of import and export taxes.  You should be able to do a websearch and find the models wherever you need them.
