    That depends on what your issue is.

    Is your problem with the modem side, or the router?

    More specific info on your 'requirements' would be helpful.

    That's a wireless router issue.

    If you don't have a network connection problem, you can just add a better wireless router to your NBN modem.

    Or pop down to OfficeWorks and grab a wifi range extender.

    But if I want to remove my isp's modem router is the asus rt-ac88u going to work or do I need the asus DSL-AC3100 which has the vdsl feature.
    thanks

    You will need a vdsl modem.

    If you already have the Asus router, try running your current modem in bridge mode and using the router as the dhcp server.

    BTW, what's your link speed?

    are you sure about that number.

    as for the modem go to whirlpool and have a read through
    the dedicated threads on just what you are after and they talk
    about many different modems and their strength and weakness


    seriously 433mbps ???? FTC is 100Mbps that looks like old adsl

    this my fiber to the node which is no were near as good as FTTC

    Have Telstra cable, 100 down 5 up. Asus ac88 connected as Hoe has said in bridge mode, the whole house, 2 story gets wi fi, as suggested by 666, Whirlpool will tell you how to do this. The Asus aint cheap so suggestions of placing an extender may be the go
