QUOTE(sHawTY @ May 16 2018, 01:44 AM) Care to share which seller you bought from? Aww. Im from Yue20131028. Guess this seller really no good stuff. Delivery also slow poke.Don't want to buy from yue20131028 again as he's a cocky seller and refused to help his customer He declined my refund request but luckily Taobao stepped in agreed for a full refund Somehow all china ppl is behave like that if not same language. They even hang up your phone if your request and speak language that they dont understand. |

QUOTE(XPS @ May 26 2018, 01:33 PM) The T-Mobile AC1900 hacked into AC68U in theory can run stock ASUS firmware which supports AiMesh. However, its likely ASUS will update the CFE in the router once you update to the latest firmware. There are reasons where older ASUS firmware for the AC68U were removed from the official download site. Recent reports are that ASUS will prevent firmware downgrade in the future. Some units of TM1900 were reset back to the original firmware, unable to flash with new firmware, etc. Its to do with the ASUS hardware verification update. Things is it will posibble revert back to T-Mobile firmware and not the Asus Ac1900 stock firmware. AC1900 stock firmware is support ai mesh. Not necessary ac68u firmware. Just wanted to test ai mesh.Still dilemma to whether to gamble for ai mesh or end up getting bricked. 50 50 chances. Too bad ac66u not support ai mesh. My old ac66u laying in the cabinet after upgraded to 86u. |

Why debating ac1900 ac68u?
Ac1900=ac68u=tm ac1900 (locked set) Ac1900 is detune version of ac68u. Rest is all same. Only some component detune to lower down the cost for marketing gimmick. T-Mobile is locked set version of ac1900. |

QUOTE(firdausbhari @ May 28 2018, 05:10 PM) This will attract dust at the back of the router. My cooler fan came with dust filter. Those filter is like soft foam type. Can replace with daiso dust filter. Anyway its a refurbish router, will not hesitate to open and do spring cleaning on it if needed.Been there done that |
