Estimated between RM800 ~ RM1.2K once it reaches Malaysian shores
Yes, definitely can use for UniFi

Should be arriving in end of November 2016
SRP around RM1500

SRP bro, Suggested Retail Pricing
It doesn't mean you have to sell it at that price

Have to wait for it to arrive first to know for sure

If anyone wants to buy this router, you can get it from 11street
Even cheaper than buying from GearBest

http://www.11street.my/productdetail/asus-...c-wifi-59886844

With an 11street coupon, you can get this router at only RM682 (Free Shipping)

Just click add to cart then checkout now, there you'll receive the coupon as per the screenshot beloiw

Have you received it?

Another cheap RT-AC86U in 11Street:
https://www.11street.my/productdetail/asus-...c-wifi-60487996

With RM50 discount it'll become RM689
Not as cheap as Taobao, but for those who doesn't read Chinese, this is your best bet

For a house that big, you will need to use Mesh network like the ASUS Lyra, not just a single router

For those who install fans on their AC68U/AC86U, remember that the best way to install the fan is to suck out the hot air from the router, not blow in air into the router
Blowing in air into the router will also bring lots of particles and dust into the router that may cause short circuit

Whereas sucking hot air out from the router will reduce the number of dust going into the router

Yup, that's the correct way to install the fan
Yes there are still dusts around the router but take note that the dust is outside of the router

You can get the RT-AC86U for RM630.20 in Lazada
There is a downside for it's cheap price: The unit is from China, so ASUS Malaysia does not provide warranty if you bought it from there
If you want to RMA, you will have to ship it back to China

ASUS RT-AC86U definitely doesn't need extra cooling unlike the older ASUS RT-AC68U, but I just installed 2 fans anyway to suck the hot air out (not blow air in)

Without fans the router runs at 70°C ~ 72°C
With fans the router runs at 52°C ~ 55°C

Anybody can get UTorrent Port Forward working on their RT-AC86U?
I've tried lots of things but the Speed Guide still failed

No. It's Merlin
https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/

Temperature reading is not provided on stock firmwre. Never has, never will

Already open an advertisement in Mudah.my to sell my one month old ASUS RT-AC86U
Selling because upgraded to ASUS ROG GT-AC5300

No, because I got the GT-AC5300 for RM1000 (new unit) from Taobao during the 11.11 promo

Yes
The only thing Merlin lacks is Mesh network

Offcourse

ASUS Malaysia does not entertain RMA request for units that is purchased from overseas

Don't expect any miracles on 2.4GHz
For 5GHz, set the channel bandwidth to 80MHz

But in order to get 500Mb/s on WiFi, your device itself must support Wireless AC 866Mb/s. If it doesn't, then you buy the ASUS GT-AC5300 also won't help
