Editor's Notes & Price Research

Written by
  • This offer is available again from the previous FP deal (if you've missed out on it)
  • This is a good price if you're in the market for a relatively cheap dual band wireless router; this router is the same model as the ASUS AC1900, however, it is just T-Mobile branded. Due to this product being an open box, there is currently no list price
  • This is an open box product and will arrive in a generic brown box w/ all included accessories

  • Offer valid while promotion/supplies last
Additional Note
  • Please refer to the forum thread for additional details - Discombobulated
Good Deal?

Update: deal still active at $35.
Update 2: the later units in a brown box looked brand new, as did the early units in a retail box.

This is the same seller and listing on ebay from the expired $30 deal a few days ago (here: https://slickdeals.net/f/15322024-t-mobile-asus-tm-ac1900-dual-band-wireless-router-29-99-open-box-fs).

Note: iirc, the listing text a few days ago stated the unit came in a white box, new but open. The listing now states a generic brown box and doesn't say new but open. Not positive on that. The unit that arrived 2 days ago was new and accessories were sealed. We'll see if the remaining batch is the same, I'll post an update.

I didn't know the prior deal from a few days ago had expired. From that deal, my order came Saturday. If the router had been used, I couldn't tell. It was in very good shape with the antennas still in a sealed bag. For those wanting to convert it to a standard ASUS package, it is a fairly long 30 step process. I must have done something wrong the first time as I had to repeat it, but in the end everything works as expected.

Aren't these the personal cellspots that Tmobile gives to customers for free if you complain about no signal in your house?

I get to this point and I get a Segmentation fault error from Putty.

/tmp/home/root# chmod u+x mtd-write
/tmp/home/root# ./mtd-write new_cfe.bin boot


Segmentation fault


Am I accessing the wrong directory?

I have converted several AC1900's in the past but not on Windows 11.

Try a different version of Putty. I did my hacking on a Win11 machine with no problem. A seg fault is a memory access error of the program, very doubtful from accessing the router.

Many required a $25 deposit; if one cancels T-Mobile, they'll want the device back or charge you MSRP, however it's been a mixed bag.

Also, they don't offer it anymore.

Realistically what is the highest bandwidth I can expect with this on a single device in my house assuming good direct signal?
