Since unifi is providing free upgrade soon, i guess everyone is looking to upgrade their router to get the best possible result.

i recently got my a refurbished unit of ASUS RT-AC68U from taobao for around rm 300. delivery will take around 2 weeks to reach my doorstep.

For those who cant read chinese (like me), i use google translate to help me during the payment process

A quick search at taobao also revealed asus rt-ac86u at around rm 500~

Anyone had experience buying this router from taobao can also share your experience here

hope this helps

what bout xiaomi?
Their Mi router 3 looks.
BTW I'm looking for a modem router with 5Ghz dual-band with 2.4Ghz running simultaneously. Got any kah?

great share!

This one can!

But you would need a custom firmware for the VLAN tagging or else you would need a VLAN bridging device.

That is okay, but no Malaysian firmware available, and there are lots and lots of dual band routers out there now. If you want go enjoy full speed, you have to pay extra for a decent router.

Just got one from there. Tumpang on peoples purchase. Havent even open it yet. I guess overall on tumpang peoples purchase is so much easier.

I bought directly shipping cost only around rm 30

yours using flight? I think the people i tumpang is using sea shipment. Took 1 month. haha

I think so. Not sure. Haha

he wants a modem router, the ac68u is just a router. So you need to buy a modem separately.

Alternatively if you really want a combined modem router no matter what, the Asus DSL AC52U looks good, or want something cheaper, this D-Link serves your purpose as well. Just search for models with DSL in its name.

Actually his quite right. I'm asking about Mi router 3 because it almost has the same configuration as the asus one.
And secondly I did ask for recomendation for combined modem router.
So when TS answer he answer for my first question but did not answer my second question.
Also thanks for the link. I'll think about it when TM upgrade my package to whatever they have higher than my current one.

Bought Asus RT-AC86U 3 months back from taobao, so far so good. Also bought the TP Link AC3200 PCIe adapter wifi card, i think its capable to support larger internet bandwidth

Attached thumbnail(s)

The Mi Router 3 only has 2 LAN ports, and both LAN and WAN ports are only 10/100, therefore only good up to 100Mbps Unifi. Anything higher requires Gigabit WAN, and LAN if you want the most speed out of your internet.

how much u bought the ac-86u? interface in chinese? new or refurb?

I have few unit of Mi Router 3 to let go. Support Unifi without extra devices. Feel free to pm if you're interested.

RMB899 (around rm500++) brand new, international firmware, just change the language to English in the setting, there are plenty of languages to choose.

Can share the link where u bought it?

He bought it at taobao, as well, I would think.

Just search in taobao there are many sellers selling at the same price
