I agree with you on Mikrotik. But, getting the ASUS AC86u from Taobao is risky, as ASUS Malaysia will not cover your warranty if there is any problems with your unit if you buy it from overseas. Just something to keep in mind,

thats not good, i thought these big companies give international warranty, i guess it depends on product as laptops seem to get international coverage.

Yes bro. Depends really. They might have change their policy as I heard about this a few months ago, but never personally have to claim for a warranty from them for an overseas product.

If budget around RM500,

Want a powerful and capable router, can consider mikrotik. But u may need to spend some time to learn and tweak its configuration.

For set and forget type, just get Asus ac86u from taobao.

Both is good enough.

I shall avoid mikrotik as I can't handle the tweak in configuration, simple setup still can handle. For Asus, ac86u n ac86u wat the different?

I am assuming you are asking about the difference between ac68u and ac86u. AC86u is better than AC86U, and newer of course. I would recommend the TP-Link AC3150 v2 which is cheaper than the two ASUS models mentioned above:

has anything changed in yr speed or network?

i used rtn12hp_b1 for 4 years... 10->30->50 mbps, all good.

this router couldn't do well enough with 100mbps when i upgraded, and that's expected.

changed to rtac1300uhp (rm5xx), all good again.

simple setup, almost auto, no tweaking required.

not sure what your home, devices, what u use... maybe like my case... can read my post #7680:

If like this, just get other ordinary router that is easy to configure like Asus.

Bought Asus from taobao is cheaper, but the warranty part is a bit troublesome, as u need to send back the router to China for RMA.

Can check this thread, some of them bought their ac86u cheaper from oversea.

Just fyi, out of the box mikrotik firewall will drop connection mark as invalid by default.

cloudcomputer and cloudstore are very expensive. There are some problems i see with malaysian pricing.

https://mikrotik.com/product/RB750Gr3

Listed price on mikrotik is $60. $60 is RM233 according to google. No one in malaysia sells this for less than rm300. When i bought my CCR1036 in europe i paid only slightly more than RRP because of shipping. So shipping + taxes the price i got was very close to the RRP listed on mikrotik shipped from EU to UK.

UK's customs are worse than malaysia, they like to charge taxes/duty where not applicable and break your stuff, however even with customs it was still cheaper.

Mikrotik's hardware is not made in europe. They dont do it themselves as they contract a manufacturer to make it along with their PSU which is the only problem that CCRs face. Everything is shipped from the same factory. https://www.balticnetworks.com/mikrotik-rou...wer-supply.html Just add shipping and taxes and you get the RRP price. So why than do mikrotik products in malaysia cost 50%-100% more? In countries like indonesia, mikrotik is liked for its low cost but in malaysia it is sold like a luxury item and not a budget product or even close to its RRP.

for the past 1 month, my internet keep disconnected with RTN12hp. Have try reset the router few time also ask tm to reset the port few time, condition still the same. Finally last week dig out back old tm DL DIR 615 to try, so far no disconnect for past few days. For the speed part felt like 30mb and 50mb about the same on RTN12HP.

My house is double story and my rounter is set at the living hall. My com in 2nd floor only able to received 4 bar network with RTN12HP. Since now planning to get a new router so looking for better coverage.

Pòssible yr rtn12hp about to die.

From yr description, i recommend u the rtac1300uhp... it will be better than rtn12hp or stock router.

More so for devices than have dual band, can easily get better wifi speed if not too far using 5ghz freq.

It is also good when u go 100mbps.

There are surely better routers but will be more expensive.

And for 50mbps, i will certainly not spend more than rm5xx.

I would recommend the TP Link AC350 v2 if you are intending to pay RM750 for the AC87U. The TP Link is newer and have nearly same features as the AC87U plus your house is only double storey. See here: https://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-archer-c3...81e5NFJvLR&mp=1

Or you can get the ASUS Rt-AC1300UHP, which only goes for RM5xx. That should be sufficient for your needs.

Everything is expensive here. What to do? Last time Landasan use to be the cheapest, example, RM118 before GST for the hAP Lite but their prices for the current products, not so good. Sublime is one of the more reasonable ones.

One more option is buy from eurodk but shipping, customs & SIRIM. sweat.gif
