There are so many routers on the market, and most of them do a pretty good job of connecting your home to the internet. To make its routers stand out, Asus<\/a> is running a promo where it pays for your internet while throwing in a Steam gift card for good measure.<\/p>\n

Between now and 31 August 2025, buying an eligible Asus router comes with a month of NBN 500 internet via Occom valued at $105. On top of that, you also get a US$20 Steam gift card when buying one router, or a US$75 card when buying two routers.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure why the card is in US currency \u2014 giveaways run by multinational companies work in mysterious ways \u2014 but at least us Aussies can benefit from a favourable currency conversion for a change. Usually, it\u2019s graphics cards that come with a free game, so it\u2019s a novel twist seeing networking companies get in on the trend.<\/p>\n

Here are the routers eligible for Asus\u2019 promotion:<\/p>\n

Both AX57 routers are Wi-Fi 6 models that cost less than $200 each, while the AXE7800 is a Wi-Fi 6E router that can be found for less than $400 at Centre Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To redeem the bonus goodies, you need to take a photo of the device\u2019s serial number and your receipt, and then upload them to Asus\u2019 redemption site online<\/a>. The website has more details, including the all-important terms and conditions, plus a list of participating retailers.<\/p>\n

In addition to the guaranteed bonuses, you\u2019ll go in the running to win six months of internet and a Vivowatch 5 Aero smart wearable. There are three of these prize packs, in case you needed an extra incentive to grab a new router.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are so many routers on the market, and most of them do a pretty good job of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81745,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[64,63,237,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-81744","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-internet","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
