didnt know that you can use router on Moderm Router too!

Updated with firmware version 3.0.0.4.382.16466 result - Stable for everyday use.

Merlin firmware is here - https://www.snbforums.com/threads/alpha-asu...-1-alpha.41380/

Still not officially available here?

Should be arriving in end of November 2016
SRP around RM1500

lol guess i will continue using my ac68u till i move to ubiquiti or a wireless AX asus in a few years

Why Asus Malaysia always sell so expensive? US is selling at $199.99 only.

SRP bro, Suggested Retail Pricing
It doesn't mean you have to sell it at that price

Have to wait for it to arrive first to know for sure

Bought from GearBest to replace my current AC66U, maybe it'll arrive in 2 weeks. Not worth buying it from Malaysia - priced too high. Just look at the current AC68U prices to estimatehow much they'll price it here.

bro...i need some help pls....i dont understand about the warranty..if bought from GearBest...the router got problem ....how to i do?

I think you need to ship back to GearBest at own cost for them to help you claim warranty.

hi did you get into problem while getting this into malaysia ? any tax and SIRIM ?

Nope. No tax and SIRIM AP issue.

I bought one unit base on ts review. Shall see. Cannot use Ur code. Says expired. So price is $186usd. I added insurance and another item. Usd195. Hopefully it arrives. I paid with PayPal credit card. As per your recommendation.

Thanks. I did click thru Ur link.

Edit : buyers beware gearbest shipment for me got blocked at gateway. **** Unaccepted international export***

And four days later still no resolution.
