QUOTE(Ebony & Ivory @ Oct 16 2018, 06:48 PM) Which model you refer to? Rt-ac5300If ac86u, no different for local and oversea unit. Both are from the same manufacturer and factory in China. About firmware, yup it is compatible. Asus is using global firmware for all unit. You can also flash to merlin.  I understand cant claim for local warranty for oversea purchase but can we sent for repair? |
