I posted about that 4G wireless router on Friday 19-Jun. In that post I included a link to staticICE which showed some stores were selling the router at $45.
Following my post, peteru suggested that router was a good choice, and noted that it was stocked by Officeworks, with an easy return if needed.
Are you aware that Officeworks, has a 'Price Beat Guarantee'? You can show them a listing of the router from a bricks & mortar store selling it a lower price, for example MSY, and get it at Officeworks for that MSY price less %5.

No, not required. Go and re-read the Quick Installation Guide again.
*Righto Grumpy- I hadn't actually had the right opportunity to find & read the damn manual, as the link reposted by MrQuade during our chats didn't actually lead directly to it.
Regardless I am now armed with the new information. Leaving me with the same personal question of whether or not a local Officeworks will have it in stock for delivery. I have a workplace injury and should not drive. Therefore before MrQuade and my chats had finished I had to ask for his particular advice on what I needed to look for in other products...
I don't see the harm in asking the him what makes it so.
Now I wonder if I need a SIM Card in both the router and my Telstra WIFI PLUS when it is connected to the Beyonwiz V2- though I guess I will just have to buy an extra $2 SIM if I "run into a wall"- or try to connect with MrQuade again.
I've also forgotten to mention that when I inserted my device straight into the Beyonwiz there was a green flashing light on my device, which according to the instructions says is an indicator that a software update is available. I can't remember it happening when I had one years ago, nor find any information on if this needs to be done with a computer first or once it is connected.
So in summary- thanks for the "g up" as if I didn't see those exact words I may not have read the manual (for the very first time).
Whew!
