QUOTE(Trrienty @ Dec 13 2018, 10:47 AM) Anyone manage to send back China unit back to China for replacement? Because I called up SF Express and they told me China don’t allow return/used/repair item enter into China and it will be withheld by the custom if insist to send back I am going to pos laju tomorrow to send back to the seller. Will see how it goes. Not putting any high hopes and i believe it is going to take many months before the replacement if any would arrive back. |

QUOTE(peguin78 @ Dec 13 2018, 09:26 AM) I guess its all about electronics and/or poor design by Asus. I have not used cooling fan from the 1st day of using the router. That could be the problem. However, Merlin FW did not give any clue whether the unit was over heating and my temps hovered around 75c at full load, and i know that the cpu could withstand may be up to 90c before shutting down. I suggest not to get the first version of AX routers. Probably wait about 6 months and see how things are. AX is new technology and currently there are no AX clients yet. Also AX router is going to be expensive. It's your call anyway.However, i did notice that the power LED blink and even did not light up for a while during the normal auto reboots a few times prior to the " demise' of the router. That could be the early sign of trouble. Anyway, I am looking for a replacement. I am thinking to get the Tenda AC18 and flash it with Merlin FW as a temporary substitute. However, should Jacye manage to racun me for the new AX88u router, I will go for this, otherwise I will wait for AX86U. Sorry for the morning RANT RANT RANT For me i am sticking back to another new unit of ac86u. (hoping this time it won't fail so fast again) |
