@ASUSmy, my 1+ month old rt-ac86u defective, strong burnt smell from the inside. Where should I send it for repair, in Penang? Dissapointing ....

I can't since I bought it online. It's a Malaysia set though.

Oh really? Luckily I bought a Malaysia set. If bought from Taobao, money burnt in just a month.

Noted. Thanks.

Great. I'll give it a try. But, is this Asus Service Centre?

Nope. No raining, no lighting. Suddenly dead.

Not that easy to ship back.

But mine only 1+ month. Can't imagine how many it's going to breakdown in 3 years?

Smell like something burnt inside. But really, there isn't rain / lighting last night. Nothing went wrong with my BTU though. Temporary use back TM's router.

So fragile?
I've just on like less than 2 hours.

Just called up Advancenet. Let me send mine to them first. If it's really overheating, I'm speechless.

Oh ... WOW!

How do you send back the defective device?

Got back my RMA in 2 days time, excellent. Brand new in sealed box.

Please help. I've gotten TUF AX6000 to replace my Dlink DPN-FX3060V, which provided by Unifi.

With DPN-FX3060V, I managed to get full upload speed


With AX6000, I'm only getting 300 - 400mpbs upload speed.


That said, using the Asus in built speed test, somehow I'm able getting full upload speed


Please help. Anything that I've done wrongly?

Yes, most of us are using Samsung. Anything wrong with Samsung?

I've figured what could have gone wrong but it may be firmware bug?

By turning on Guest account, the router won't work altogether.


To make it works, I have to enable QoS. But, turning on QoS, the upload speed is stuck at 300 - 400mbps.


Turn off Guest account and QoS to gain full upload speed.


Asus representative, please assist. Googled online, a lot also having the same slow upload speed issue. Spent close to 900 but getting a none working product.

IC. Ok, I can give it a try.

But, that didn't explain why without QoS, I can get full upload speed with the same 10 - 15sec Speedtest.

Do it at your own risk. Remember to save your Dlink's setting before you proceed. You may require to Reset it if you plan to use it as a router once again.

Once backup the setting (config file). Go into your Dlink Wan setting. Change Wan mode from GPON Router to GPON Bridge. That will do. I got mine working that way.

- I'm using LAN1.
- YES


I didn't try but I believe it works. When you select Bridge, all other settings are gone missing except your voip.

Quick test after updating. With Guest account turned ON, I no longer needs to enable QoS. Moreover, I can get the full.upload speed. Thanks a million. 👏👏👏

ASUSmy, while the new firmware fixed the QoS issue when the Guest Network is enabled, now I discovered yet another major issue.


My automation which is connected to 2.4G Guest Network is working fine until I turn on the 5G WIFI in the Guest Network. It completely killed the 2.4G Guest WIFI. Turning off the Guest's 5G, the Guest's 2.4G is working again.

Asus was my first choice when came to laptops and routers. No issue in the past but this time around, it gives me a lot of headaches. Please assist. Thanks.

You are correct. WIFI is working both 2.4g and 5g when 5g Guest is turned ON. That said, all of my automation and smart switches which connected to 2.4g Guest, go offline.


Turning off 5g Guest, all online again.


My 2.4g Guest setting


Any clue?

Tried toggling Intranet Access for both 2.4g and 5g, same and not helping.

I'm using 2nd 2.4g Guest for my automation and 1st 5g Guest for my guests.

Let me try to use both at 2nd guest network tonight.

Tried 2nd guest network for both, problem goes away. Thanks, but why?

Nope, I didn't fix the IP.
