QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Jan 15 2019, 10:16 AM) just asking stupid question here Yes, not covered official ASUS Malaysia warranty.ac86u purchased from taobao can't register warranty on Asus malaysia website correct ? But did cover ASUS China warranty, any claims needed can send back to China. Just give and take case, if you felt trouble, then goes to Malaysia unit which more than 2x of the price  |

QUOTE(CyanChow @ Jan 22 2019, 08:42 PM) I already upgrade to latest firmware oh just that i didn't do the factory reset after upgrade, maybe will try it out later. You try to disable and see.I thought need to enable QoS? Because enable Qos will automatic disable the NAT acceleration. |

QUOTE(llk @ Apr 25 2019, 01:20 AM) I would say sending back to China is nightmare, my friend tried to send back to China twice (thought to try different courier company), unfortunately both also got hold by China customs and required seller to present certain documentation where seller said they can't provided, at the end the router got returned back to Malaysia, wasted more than RM200 shipping charges. Last month he got a trip to China then only managed to send back to seller via local courier company there, now still waiting for RMA from Asus China. Maybe you should try those logistic company rather than pure courier company.They have few option for shipment. We shall choose Electronic sensitive air shipment, so that I wont hold by custom. https://cbi-express.com/index.php?route=inf...&warehouse_id=9 This post has been edited by SzeMeng76: Apr 25 2019, 04:11 PM |

QUOTE(enteraname1 @ Aug 11 2019, 03:29 PM) where to buy Asus RT-AC865 ? U mean AC86U?online of coz Malaysia official unit : RM 1049 https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asus-rt-...ZIBXcP&search=1 China official unit : CNY 899 = RM 532.60 (roughly), price not included international postage CNY 48=RM 28.44 (roughly) https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a220m...5fbcddcd773770e The pros to buy Malaysia unit which covered 3 year local warranty which you can send back to ASUS Malaysia for warranty. The cons to buy China unit which also covered 3 years warranty, but you need to send back to ASUS China for warranty (in case need warranty) |

QUOTE(ericwen @ Oct 17 2020, 04:29 PM) Hi all, Working well with my Time Fibre 500 mbpsI am currently using Astro Beyond + Time Fibre 100Mbps. But I am using the old wifi AP, which can support max 10Mbps. Super duper slow. I am considering this https://www.asus.com/my/Networking/RT-AC86U/ 1) Can it work with Time fibre 100Mbps? 2) I read the earlier posts that this model was released 2 years ago. Still can work? Or there's better and stable model? 3) I am not a gamer (unless Diablo 4 is out). But I need good WIFI. My current WIFI seems rather unstable, often disconnected. 4) I presume buying the Malaysia version is better right? https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asus-wif...dpOfmy&search=1 Noticed 1 seller selling cheaper, but an imported one. Probably from China (can't read mandarin). Any help? Thanks. I think its still stable router among others (my opinion) Suggest u buy Msia version if you have budget (and also price decreased quite lots), China version cheaper but warranty only held by China seller, means if you need to claim warranty in future, ASUS Msia wont entertain, you will need to send back to your seller/China seller. |
