QUOTE(JayceOoi @ Dec 28 2017, 09:18 AM) Glad to know that. But why you have higher ping response? How much in number by the way? hi Jayce, I'm connecting to 5Ghz to my iphone. Basically I need to know what is the recommended settings in Wireless so that I can get the optimal performance. One thing I notice, with Asus firmware, I can't find the Tx Power while Merlin has. I always confuse on 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless setting such as channel width (20, 40, 80). Please share out your wireless setting. Thanks.

Finally get to know that the new Oklaa speedtext in iOS always point to Medan and it caused higher ping. After manually select nearer server, then I got the ping response closer to LAN.

QUOTE(NecroPhilia @ Dec 29 2017, 02:58 PM) Do you mind to share the link for Tmall and did you pay any custom tax for your router or apply for SIRIM sticker? I went to taobao but the price is 899RMB for new year sales and 999 at the moment I just paid as usual payment made to other stuff in Tmall. Once it reach warehouse, I just paid again for the shipping fee to Malaysia.

QUOTE(JayceOoi @ Jan 10 2018, 10:49 AM) Weird... Asus auto pushed latest firmware with AiMesh support to my AC86U again. Anyone facing the same issue? What is your firmware version now ?

QUOTE(JayceOoi @ Jan 23 2018, 11:35 AM) Yeah... Installed Merlin firmware finally. Official firmware can't even solve one simple issue - UPnP Media Server address always change after reboot after so many revision. Err... Mind to share the feature that Merlin offer and how was it perform over the official firmware in term of stability ?
