Reviews

  • Edimax nLite 3G-6200n 3G Broadband Router

    Edimax's nLite 3G-capable router might sucker you in with a bargain price point, but you'll pay a hefty frustration price along the way.

  • Optus E1762 USB Modem

    The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.

  • Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router

    The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

  • Netgear EVA9150

    While the Netgear EVA9150 is far from perfect, it offers an easy way to access the widest array of digital audio, photo and video files for the do-it-yourself crowd.

  • NetComm NP201AV HomePlug

    NetComm's redesigned its home plugs to make them somewhat easier to fit onto a plug socket — and significantly faster as well.

  • Meridian Sooloos Music Server

    The Meridian Sooloos is a modular music server with an easy-to-use interface and one of the best Random modes we've seen. The downside? It's expensive.

  • Telstra T6

    The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.

  • Samsung C5220

    The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.

  • NAB rolls out contactless terminals

    National Australia Bank has announced that it will roll out systems to over 500 Melbourne merchants this month, which will enable them to take customers' payment when they hold their cards up to a reader, but has stopped developing technology for payments via mobile phone.

  • Aussie web data consumption doubles

    Australian internet users now consume twice as much data than they did a year ago, but figures by Australian Bureau of Statistics reveal there are still over 200,000 businesses and government agencies on a dial-up connection.
