I saw ITOP has these for 29$ free shipping, they are legit and accept paypal so looks like you can get them sent to America for a decent price. (HK shipping is slow though) I am guessing bulk buyers are getting a nice discount.

Can you share a link to this?  The top two websites on google did not load for me.  So not sure if it's me or what.

That would be very interesting if they got it for a price they can sell at 29 with free shipping.  If they did get this they will get some sales for sure.

There you go, it is 29$ with slow shipping, I am probably going to snag one at this price.


why would you be expecitng a free shipping option... that doesn't make any sense.
Because they were offering one, they removed it after I had posted it. Shipping can be extremely cheap if they use a slow method, no idea why it hasn't happened yet.

On the back of the router it is two pin chinese plug , It will comes with plug adapter to US or EU type .

So just to confirm, are you saying that the price includes the correct adapter for the region it is shipping to?

Thanks for posting that is a steal of a deal if true for the entire router.    I wonder what bulk pricing is now.

ITOP are you able to confirm what kinda plug is on the back of the router?  Is it Chinese plug as many suspect, or did we get extremely lucky and us?

Australia and China actually(Type I). After looking into it further, it seems that China also uses a type A and C, so it could be type A without a wider neutral pin like we have in the US. I'm not sure if this means an R1 with Type A plug wouldn't fit snugly in a US outlet. I guess we'll have to wait to find out.
http://www.stayonline.com/reference-international-plugs.aspx

if you scroll down you'll see that the common chinese 2P is exremely similar to the north american NEMA 5-15, with the difference being a fraction of a millimeter dimensions-wise.

Quote
The China GB1002 and GB2099 standard 2 pin 15 amp non-grounded appear to be physically identical to the NEMA 1-15 found in North America. In many cases a North American plug will mate with China receptacles without an adapter. However, the China standard holds to tighter dimensional measurements than those in North America. This means that in some cases North American plugs will not quite fit into China receptacles.

tldr; chinese 2P is slightly smaller, and will fit most north american outlets, possibly with a bit of wiggleroom (so be sure it wont slip out of the outlet)

I just checked it and it looks like you're right the free shipping is gone, wonder if it is a temporary thing as HK DHL is different from HK Post.


HK DHL was freepost when I ordered Yesterday so long as it was just a single unit. Guess it was a mistake that has now been corrected?

Antrouter now shows out on bitmains site - https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020150915040859863u4Bgg9SX069F

I'm guessing they have sold a pretty good amount of them at this point.  Wonder if batch 1 is really done, or if they will open up again.

As many said some China recepticals can look like 2 prongs but they are bent to side.  Look at top of following picture:



So it really is possible it looks straight for transport and goes to side once opened.  I wish the review cybtc did would have covered it.

Err. That's an Australian plug. But upside - down.

Are you sure it is not?  There are many sources showing one going sideways - http://www.chinaspree.com/china-tour-plugs-outlets.html

Just googling it many pop up.  It could be wrong but appears many sites back it.

You will find that it's only free postage if you order a single unit, but a great deal if you are not in a hurry.  Smiley

Hmm, at that price I'm tempted to get one new (rather than wait for a used one like I initially planned) just to see if it makes my U3 work any better.  Probably not, but messing with electronics is part of the fun of bitcoin.  And I just sold off my last spare U3 for about what the R1 costs, so I could look at is as a trade of sorts.

Has anyone opened one of these yet?
Or maybe know what CPU it uses?

So far all I have seen is CYBTC.   It was not opened so we really don't know.   We are still waiting to hear what kinda plug is on it for sure, so we still have many questions.

I think it will be after it ships out till we find some of it.   But no the cpu is not known.
im wondering if its just a controller board like the s3 has.. it would be pretty simple to turn it into a wifi router.


I don't think it will be a controller board like that.  I think it will be something more like a router.  If you opened up a tplink nano it likely will be like that with a chip.

Only we don't know power of processor or a lot of other specs.  But Even still I suspect they leave upon firmware for custom firmware's.  This might allow us some other options.
