Hmm, seems like the Traffic Monitor has been swapped into different URL page.

I'm still at 380.66_2. Probably will stick to this firmware. But is there any differences in performances if were to upgrade?

Well, I've flashed with latest merlin 384.4 and it works like charms, IPTV working without problem.

Very minor scratch here and there, expected since refurbish.

Seems like a good bargain. But I was thinking if I'm using WS880, maybe should upgrade to another tier higher than AC68U.

You took the 8DB extra antenna package?

i check few review, models above AC68U offer function that are practically not used at the moment.

i took the ori AC68U antenna because review says no difference in performance just look nice (and powerful) only.
*
So for now, recommended would be AC68U eh? I'll take note on that.

But the 8DB red antenna seems pretty cool. Haha

Arrived in only 6 days

I bought from this seller. I think seller doesn't ship direct to Malaysia when I purchased it. I bought the fan package.

My router finally received.

Unfortunately my plug is the US ones. But small matter la. just get converter.

The surface of the Router still has teh sticker sealed. Will peel it once I flash merlin and configure nicely.

Let me contribute for PuTTY and SSH info.

Before you download Putty, make sure your enable Telnet first.

The Telnet function is disabled by default.
You can enable Telnet by the steps below.
[Advanced Settings] -> [Administration] -> [System] -> Enable Telnet -> Click [Apply]

Sauce : https://www.asus.com/my/support/FAQ/1005449/#

Then only you'll able to PuTTY into it.

You can use script to do it, format usb to ext4, install entware and then go to

https://www.ab-solution.info/

You can always lurk around at SNB https://www.snbforums.com/forums/asuswrt-merlin.42/ too

Wow. I didn't know about this

Thanks! I'll try to tinker around and install this onto my router.

Asking to everyone who bought from Taobao, which local courier did they use for your shipment for local shipping in Malaysia?
Most of my purchases is sent through GDex once it reaches Malaysia
If GDex, the tracking number starts with 863581**** (10 digits)

But this time, the delivery is using another courier which I do not know what company they use for local shipping in Malaysia
The tracking number starts with: 62102506**** (12 digits)
*
I'm using Dex-i as my courier. Usually it's being handle by ABX in Malaysia.

From Taobao, I usually copy the tracking number (domestic delivery in China) and pass to Dex-i. You can message them directly. Then they'll give me the international tracking number from China to Malaysia. From there i use Dex-i website tracking and will know who's the local courier.
