Yeah, looks like it.

Easy set up?

Very. Not as full featured as the Nighthawk but I didn't use any of the extra features anyway.

Just as a postscript, wifi is never going to be as good as ethernet. So I would get something like this or this and get ethernet for the mission critical stuff.

10G intel cards are less than $100 now and Qnap has just released a range of 10G switches that are ok priced.

My Nighthawk just shat the bed, would you recommend the Xiaomi mesh and I just buy modem to go with them rather than another all in one? I like the look of the flexibility of the mesh system as I can add more towers if I need them. For context I don't do anything that need anywhere near the capacity of these systems (streaming, couple of laptops for email and a couple of phones).

The Xiaomi mesh includes the router so you just need the NBN box. You can then add more boxes if you need to depending on what your house is like.

So yeah need the modem which is what I thought. I can probably just use one of the Optus ones I have in the draw.

Do you have NBN, they've been rolling out their white boxes for a while. If you have the white (or the older black) NBN box all you need is a ethernet cable and you're good to go.

If you have ADSL then yes, you need the modem.

Yes it includes the router. On the back of one of the boxes will be 1 Wan port and 3 ethernet ports. Check out the manual. https://www.panmi.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Xiaomi_Mesh_System_AX3000-User_Manual.pdf

ook.gg virus (hijacker malware), appeared just before I went to Melrose last week, Bitdefender warned me but I clicked on 'take me there', 2 evenings I didn't really have, scanning with anti-malware, removing registry files, deleting runs/autoruns and system files.
Now just changed some passwords that have been the same forever.

Was hoping for a ride today too, just sorted at about 8pm.
