Hi Pat
Looking forward to the how to set up VPN video.
Keep up the excellent work.

[@TechManPat]

Muhammad Saad Aamer thanks mate will do !

[@BrianBellia]

Thanks, Pat! 👍

[@VirtuousMarine]

Thank you very much for the review

[@saiydjamal4472]

Hi, I have FTTN/FTTB and I've been recommended TP Link 2100, it also came with an extender, what are your opinions? Also do you recommend something else?

[@gamewithcasper2216]

TP Link has some dope routers.
It's nice to be the first comment, albeit a little lonely.

[@happyknife8785]

Tech Man Pat, man this is all so confusing, you do a good job at explaining. I have Optus NBN FTTN and I need a Modem/Router but I also want to be able to still use a standard phone line for emergencies for the kids, big single story with lots of sport/video streaming and some online games. Do you have recommendations up to $250ish???

[@mr_eee]

Hiya Pat.. Just wondering are you able ot flash the modem using the software tomatousb on the tplink 3000 modem?

[@casperblackcat1975]

Is there a guide to setting up this modem on Telstra NBN FTTN I've been trying to set It up but with no luck?.

[@magik2005]

So, I'm planning to upgrade my internet connection to my local UltraFast Fibre network, with preference for up to 900Mbps. Are you telling me that this modem-router cannot pass through any more than 100Mbps to my pc? Did I just waste my money on this?

[@robot_12]

Just ordered, but might need your help further to set it up- with iPrimus

[@TheJohnChocolate]

Is there anyway to set this up to bypass the FTTC connection box, e.g. input the box details into this modem so I just have 1 device on my kitchen bench instead of 2?

[@jasonadersonwedion9874]

Wait how do I connect it to the phone?

[@wozza980]

Hi Pat, i have the VR400 which is getting a tad old. Do you think I would see better speeds with the VR300 you talked about? We do a fair bit of gaming and streaming movies etc.

[@TechManPat]

I think you would be fine, and for the price its a good buy

[@Paul-L125]

Not bad for the price. 👍

[@BuckleyDiaz]

Which is better ? Vr300 or D50 ?

[@ldogg3876]

The range is very poor
Should I get a router to boost up the range and speed

[@awesomusmaximus3766]

I'm looking for a second modem this one might be worth considering
Looks like your ISP is throttling your speeds

[@BenjiDoodle]

the speeds are being throttled by the fact he is on FTTN as the copper section can only support upto a set speed and it lowers over distance. Speeds can also be affected by the Chipset inside a modem. This is why when he changed modems to one with probably a more upto date chipset the line sync speeds were raised. I would still recomend one day trying a Netcomm NF18ACV on the line as the Modem in that is great but the wifi speeds just suck.

[@awesomusmaximus3766]

@@BenjiDoodle SNR margin is 8.2 db it should be 6 db that is why i think his isp is throttling his speed
I'll check the Netcomm NF18ACV out as i need two
Thank you

Hey Tech Man Pat, my premises is HFC and I am soon going to sign up with Future BB on their 25/10 plan. I am on a budget and have this AC1200 VR 300 as a hand-me-down from my brother and was wondering if it will work fine with HFC and Future BB plans? Appreciate your input, Cheers.

[@TechManPat]

HI Akid, the AC1200 will not be a modem for you, it will act as a router on HFC so it should be fine.

[@artinnemati332]

does it support cat 6 or cat 7 ?

[@patshoyinka7940]

Hi Pat, what's the maximum number of devices this Router can take?

[@TechManPat]

250 total mix of wireless and wired

[@patshoyinka7940]

@@TechManPat That's great. Thanks.

[@meanteen96]

How far is the range?

[@TechManPat]

Small house, should be fine, bar to many brick walls.
