Check garage sales. I saw one for RM65. Worth it for a dual-band AP.

I saw this comment and straight up bought a Asus RT-AC66U for about RM230. Actually, it's an American set not European. I had yet to found any European set sold in Taobao. Luckily the forwarder are able to ship via air. Will be receiving it in a week time.

PM link pls

I'm so tempted to get one too. Why is there such a huge discrepancy in pricing? Local price is what? RM500?

On a different note, have you got your unifi speed upgrade yet?

I checked the firmware was from EU so i assumed it was from there. Not too sure if its US or EU. But the Unifi setting is already available when i plug it in.

Seller also sells the AC68 if you need one.

Asus routers are way overpriced in Malaysia for unknown reason. RT-AC66U cost USD $140 in US and it's sold >RM750 in Malaysia . Basically the Taobao link above sold unit that are refurbished. Since the price is so cheap, I wouldn't mind about the warranty and the aesthetic. I just got upgraded from VIP5 to Unifi Lite like three weeks ago.

Seems like we bought from the same seller.

Yeah man. Other buyers just becareful on the shipping as the first time i bought using Taobao Global Direct it was rejected at warehouse hence need to ship back to seller for refund. Then i used a sea shipper, no problem. So far used it for 2-3 weeks no issue, firmware updated, stable and can handle multiple device connection easily. Just a little warm.


Also the adapter pin is China's so use a simple travel adapter will do. China appliances can use MY socket without a transformer.


Cheers.

hmmm....i should keep on with my mikrotik.thx anyway bro

means china use same voltage as malaysia is it ? that good

Not exactly same but its 220V (China) and 240V (Malaysia) still within acceptable range

Gotten your new toy yet? how was it?

Im already using it bro like a month plus. Its good and most importantly even with multi device connected it still handles it well unlike my previous default TMNET Dlink which more than 5-6 devices it will start to stutter loggin into the wifi network.


For the price, no issue at all. WIFI coverage is good.

Is that 淘宝直送?

What about from 天猫? Lepas?

Bought an AC86U from Taobao Collection on Lazada. Comes from China in about 4 days. Brand new, great performance. RM630.

You may refers to here, read from first page until the end. I am using a China version Asus RT-AC86U. So far I'm happy with it.

Hi, I want to asks whether TP-link from China Taobao TP-link WDR8690 can direct connect the UNIFI modem?

Hi, all sifu. I just bought a high speed router from China TP-Link. Im currently using Unifi. May I know it is easy to do the setting up? Cause last time I heard that we need to get our Unifi special password from TM. Please help thanks.

Why did you buy the router from China when you can get good ones here for quite reasonable prices?

As far as I know, the China router you bought does not support VLAN tagging which is required for Unifi, so even if you have your PPPoE username and password to connect, you won't be able to use the router unless you get a smart switch that can support VLAN tagging.
