Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand? Also if you are asking for a PM make sure your Privacy settings allow your account to receive PM otherwise people can't contact you. Also note if you are selling something we ask you to offer to other members first. Links to private sales (including Trade Me posts) aren't accepted anymore and will be removed.

Got one of the Telecom provided ones you can have if you're in Wellington. Don't think I've ever taken it out of the box.

thanks for the responses. let me give more detail about our house.

We are a relatively big household with 7 people. everyone has their own phone and wifi device. And some days there can be as many as 26 devices connected to the Wifi ( with 1 pc connected by Ethernet).

Would regular routers be enough or should I invest an an industrial one? ( or use an old router as a bridge of sort)

I would say it depends, 26 devices browsing Facebook or 26 devices trying to stream/torrent/game?

If the house is (physically big) I would consider a second router.

That completely changes the scope of your requirements. That isn't an average home and none of the solutions above apply.

If you want to tell us your budget, I'll suggest a solution - any in reality building a good solution for much under $700ish is going to be a hack if you want something reliable.
