hi guys, my wifi doesnt seem to hit 400Mbps mark. i am on 800Mbps package. is there any tuning can be done to this router. i can easily get 800Mbps-1Gbps on wired.

tested wifi using imac and iphone x

It's normal for 2x2 MIMO devices. You won't reach maximum WiFi speed unless you have 4x4 devices. I doubt 3x3 device can reach that too.

understood the max speed could not be reached. but to only get less than 50% of the speed using this router is a bit sad.

I suggest you read this https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4658454 to understand more why mobile phones & some laptops couldn't reached max speed.

How can I enable NAT acceleration for this router? Can’t seems to find it under LAN setting compare to my old AC1200G model

More features.

Hi all,

Does anyone facing issue setting the new router from china? during my set up i do not have quick internet setup page, it do not have an option to choose which ISP.

Hi bro,

nice review on the router.

but can anyone give me some recommendation on which router to get?

planning to buy a router for the unifi turbo upgrade to 800mbps

1) router signal must be strong enough for 2 storey house, 22x75 house
2) with mu-mimo
3) budget around RM600 +/-
4) support unifi
5) wifi speed is not a big issue for me.
6) Saw your mi router pro review, but it must have smart switch right? is it worth to get for unifi?

Thank in advance.

I have bad encounter with tplink. Any other brand and model can recommend me?
Asus maybe?

anyone has the devices list keep jumping issue with this router? it will like 22 devices then suddenly jump to 6 devices for no reason then 18 devices
i face the same issue. kinda irked me a bit, but i don't give any thoughts about it since device connection is uninterrupted, just device list on the router webpage is ever-changing.

AND you don't need fan for this router, AC68U was quite hot but for me this is just warm. Those arm cpu can work at 125c, putting fan just collecting dust.
i somehow agree - my router has been running for the past 10mths, no overheating issue. placed in open air without airconditioning.

My friend not really happy with dual AC86U aimesh setup, the setup was quite confusing, working with homescreen, the tabs at the right, but not working another way. Anyone had happy experience with the aimesh? or when it comes to multi nodes infra ubiquiti is still better?
i can't understand so much your question - which setup was confusing?
anyhow, i'm happy with AiMesh so far - easy to setup, easy to connect, no reduction in speed/jitter/lag etc. setup with 2x AC86U.

i'm a noobie in this stuff, but AiMesh is easy for me so far without issues, though i look forward to use ubiquity infra in the future. 
(can't compare though - professional ubiquiti vs. layman aimesh)

yep I don't have issues to let it run at the backend but I'm quite concerned about it because even cheapo routers can do it properly. Especially we got speed boost from our ISP and we want to see our devices max speed. You don't want recommend your friend this router and u tell them oh this is bug in MSRP RM1.3k router right  Of course we have ways to buy two with that price

I understand put a fan there somehow feels good, because that is the core of home internet infrastructure. but my old router, TpLink 1043ND v2 ,which require a fan to ensure the ping always low / no dropped packets, just too disgusting after letting the fan blows for one year. the components inside have big accumulated dusts and the fan blades are Since it is warm and designed not to put a fan just let it be.

Its from my friend - He click adding AiMesh from advanced settings, loading and stuck there, doesn't work. But adding through the main page is fine. The selection of routers from a phone, according to him, not as good as ubiquities. Sometimes phone upstairs will still connected to downstairs router, I don't know if AiMesh thinks that is faster (Phone direct downstairs faster than go upstairs mesh -> downstairs). From what I heard, I feel that if you going to do multiple APs ubiquiti is better.

Even ubiquiti is professional doesn't mean that will be harder - ubiquiti sees all devices in one shot and configure while aimesh have to detect and adding manually.
Their purpose is different though - ubiquiti has the central management unit but any ac86u can be an aimesh member.

But for overall experience satisfaction when it comes to multiple AP, I think ubiquiti will perform better. Obviously ubiquiti is more expensive, just for reference for people who have budget and planning for a good infra.


in addition, i just found out that the latest firmware is buggy. my internet connections always lost (started with intermittent connection and then permanent disconnected).
rolled back to FW 21140 yesterday and currently monitoring.
