<p>Tech Australia&nbsp;declined the opportunity to&nbsp;buy any&nbsp;Malaysian UltraWAPs from Freenet Antennas.<br/><br/>After extensive tests we found the UltraWAP very unreliable. The build quality and firmware software was cheap and nasty.<br/><br/>The UltraWAP failed in Repeater mode also connection in infrustracture mode would freeze up now and then, which we also found many other users having the same problems in networking forums.<br/><br/>When contacting the owner of Freenet Antennas to discuss the repeater mode problem, he admitted the units do suffer from a feedback glitch.<br/><br/>The ultraWAP also suffered from heating problems. Value for money the ultraWAP is not worth purchasing. It is an AP only, not even a router.<br/><br/>You can buy the Buffalo WHR HP G300N for less, which has more output and receive capabilities. Better build and quality, never over heats. Has Better range and signal, and&nbsp;is far more reliable. Much better firmware/software. Lots of third party software to extend its capabilities and signal output amplification to an outstanding 1000mW.<br/>Check it out here <a href="http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/nfiniti-wireless-n/nfiniti-wireless-n-essential-high-power-router-access-point-whr-hp-g300n/">http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/nfiniti-wireless-n/nfiniti-wireless-n-essential-high-power-router-access-point-whr-hp-g300n/</a><br/><br/>Only Trusted Uniden Australia import the Buffalo into Australia for their Agents to sell. Not like the ultrawap, which fail to follow any quality control methods.<br/><br/>We found freenet Antennas edited&nbsp;all negative reviews about their ultraWAP on their website, which meant their reviews were not accurate or reliable.<br/><br/>We hope this information is usefull, as we feel we have a responsibility to our customers to share this information.<br/></p></div>

<p>I love all the fraudulent reviews on their website about the Ultrawap. People buy these pathetic units because they dont know anything better is out there.<br/></p>

<p>I had mine come back from freenet, telling me there wasn't a problem.<br/>But everytime I tried to use it as it was intended for "in repeater mode"under freenet supervision on the phone, it wouldn't work.<br/><br/>Then i set it up under freenets instructions to infrustructure instead of repeater mode it worked now and then.<br/><br/>I was very disappointed it wouldn't work in repeater mode, even though freenet acknowledged the fault, they wouldn't give me a refund.<br/><br/>So i had to get the bank involved to get my money back.<br/><br/>Freenet edited my review on their website, so it looks like the unit was never faulty.<br/><br/>Don't trust them at all.<br/></p></li></ol></div></div>]]></description>

<p>Welcome to&nbsp;the official website of Chris Roubis.</p>
<p>Born and bred in&nbsp;Sydney&#8217;s Suburb of Maroubra. Chris loved fast cars, bikes&nbsp;and fast women. He become a Licensed Motor Mechanic and started building race motors for drag strips and illegal drag racing.</p>
<p>Chris&#8217;s 11 second LH Torana had a good reputation in the illegal drag scene of being unbeatable.&nbsp; Chris and his car were wanted by the Police and were said to be No.1 on their hit list. Fortunately for Chris&#8217;s links to the Federal Police force, he was always one step ahead of them.</p>
<p>Chris later studied the art of ZEN DO KAI. Became a 2nd Dan black belt and stopped.</p>
<p>He later then became a Licensed Auto Electrician, apprentice wages were killing him,&nbsp;so he&nbsp;supplemented his wages by painting motor vehicles in his spare time. The word got around about the great work he did, soon he hired help and made a good living out of it.</p>
<p>Chris later decided to hit the gym and become a fulltime body builder. Took him a few years and a few courses of Jungle juice, but the results were incredible. Lot&#8217;s of Security firms hired him, including for adult shows.</p>
<p>Slowly this&nbsp;life style made chris decide to go back to TAFE and get his&nbsp;certificate in Electronics. Chris always had a&nbsp;talent and passion&nbsp;for art,&nbsp;so he then decided to enroll in a Design course at TAFE.<br/><br/>After a few years in the Industry he decided to work for himself.</p>
<p>After the death of his little boy Makia (Shih tzu cross Silky terrier) he became very spiritual. The gifts he was born with slowly came back to him after he bloked them out when he was younger.<br/><br/>Now Chris helps alot of people through his volunteer work and services to animal organisations and the youth , including using his Psychic gifts (Clairvoyant, Medium, Healer, Visionary, Tarot reader, Spiritual Teacher)<br/><br/>Chris also donates his time and services to auctioning his paintings to good causes.</p>]]></description>
