There is only 1 weakness for buying the TM-AC1900 version of ASUS RT-AC68U:
The product doesn't come with any warranty
Yes

what different refurbished ac86u & normal ac86u in taobao?? 2 also can be use in m'sia?

One is repaired / returned unit & 1 is new
Neither of them is covered by ASUS Malaysia
Yes

bro, i have many question due to i am going to purchase new medium end wireless router, so i would like to ask some opinion from you

1) asus AC66n
2) Asus N65
3) Tmobile from taobao AC68U
4 Ori AC 68U
5) Asus N66U

if i am asus brand from taobao it can flash it to MY asus firmware?

Usage = Share FTP cloud, Unifi 50mbps , Unifi HYPPTV, 24/7 running, double stories .

i tried do some research abt T mobile , it cannot update normal asus firmware right? so it use similar ASUS OS or?

i had successfully configured openvpn in xwrt@WS880, as a vpn server and vpn client.

As a vpn server, let you to connect to your home network remotely, i use this to access my home esxi lab from office. I changed the port to TCP443 to bypass corporate firewall.

As a vpn client, establish vpn from this router to my openvpn server (VPS). It is very nice that the firmware let me to do policy based vpn routing, ie only let specific local machine via vpn while the rest of the machine go direct to internet. In my case, i let my download station to use vpn for torrenting (privacy) while the rest of the devices is going for direct internet (speed).

Thank You

With the new announcement of UniFi Turbo, just asking if WS880 is capable of getting 800Mbps (or close to 800Mbps)?

I saw the specs, looks OK but would like to hear from you guys. My UniFi is relocated to my sister's house and my sister is quite meticulous with spending, I'm quite sure she won't be willing to spend more just to get 800Mbps when she is very happy now with 100Mbps.

Luckily I only go back once every fortnight, so I won't use it that much else I will rage if I don't see 800Mbps.

just enable hardware NAT

So, it is part of Vortex-XWRT?

yes. it call CTF (Cut Through Forwarding) if l'm not mistaken.

Noted, I will Google more about it later.

Everyone so worried about their router being able to hit 800mbps or not.

Ever asked yourself if your devices even support 1gbps over wifi in the first place?

Since I am the only posted here asking and I guess you were referring to my post.
I'm not sure if my devices support but Google says yes. I'm using LG V30+ and Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th generation.

I'm generalizing, not you specifically.

It's in about every active thread the whole day, same question.

Hmm. Strangely enough you chose this thread to post this comment and your first post in this thread.
Never mind.

Very true. I think most people won't. Even for myself, I only have 2 laptops which can reach 850Mbps, can't touch 1Gbps on WiFi. Granted that they're 5-year old models but still. Moreover, I was using a cheap RM175 Aztech, maybe that's why.

iPerf3

800Mbps+ iPerf3 from MacBook Pro Retina 2013 (USB3 GBe Ethernet) to MacBook Pro Retina 2013 (5Ghz AC 80MHz)

I can see that some of you are really good in Networking products. With the new TM turbo plan, there will be a great demand(10k-100k??) for cheap but good performance router. May be it is a good time to start an online biz buying cheap routers like ws880, update it and selling to this market.
