What router were you using before this?

asus1300uhp
& few tp-link routers..

Hi folks,

I just for my asus 86U from china and set it up and running since last night... but i found the wifi 5ghz channel limited to 4/5 selection only if i play around with 20/40/80 ghz. And i 've set it to US region... is that normal?

i put N/AC mixed got 30-60 then 140-167

not much selection

?
Same but i only can choose 140-167... yours also china version? Which firmware you are on now? Merlin?

stock version..
yes i bought from china
i changed to singapore.. coz nearer to malaysi

2nite only switching to merlin to test it out

Ok thanks, will try Singapore region and see it works... but i heard changing to SG region will give weaker Wifi penetration... so far US and Australia had the strongest Wifi.

I am planning to flash koolshare ROG version of 86U over the weekend !

koolshare rog better the merlin?

not sure... need to test it out but koolshare got a 2 version and both version got software center which you can install additional stuffs... and their status tab on main screen which is showing cpu and wifi temperature which kinda cool....

First version is KoolShare mod edition... which base on Asus GPL and Merlin mod
Second version is ROG skin which base on Asus GPL and Merlin mod as well....

So depending which version you use or test out... but you may need to follow a lot of instruction back of forth of the firmware.

sigh.. after changing to merlin asus firmware the 5ghz is detected.. but i cant connect to it..
i got a lemon unit?
what should i do? send it back for RMA?

Do a factory reset, set it up again and see it works

reset few times also cane..
even did the 30/30/30 and the WPS reset also same..i think the 5ghz chipset fry edi

Just ordered a unit. Hope it's not a lemon.

Just bought ac86u...all are fine except i noticed it will take sometime for the stb box to be connected every time i on stb box. Are u guys having the same prob?

Well known issue, search for "hypptv" or "iptv" keywords in this thread.

go to LAN > IPTV > select unifi-home

what logistics(courier)
u guys using to send stuff back to china?
poslaju ?
airpak?

I'm using Poslaju.

ok thank you..
btw what do you write on the return receipt to return it for rma?

Already did that before but the Lan data loading to stb still take about 1 minit to establish connection
