If you're happy with 2x2 rather than 3x3 you can get the cheaper model for under NZ$100 shipped from Amazon.

No experience here either. You will want to disable Telnet & WEP though.

A large number of the "companies" who list on PriceSpy don't really exist, except in name. They have automated systems that login to the distributor's websites, get the stock codes and stock levels, add a little margin and then list on PriceSpy. If you purchase the product "from them" they use credit with the distributor and get the distributor to ship straight to you. Basically then clip the ticket and don't actually do anything.

It is quite possible that one of the automated systems got something wrong and that is what you saw.
