That bug only applies to RT-AC1200G+
Just try to connect your PC directly to the BTU, then we'll see what the problem is
The customer service is an idiot
380.70 is a very old firmware

The latest firmware for ASUS RT-AC5300 is 384.32799
Go ahead and update the firmware

what a diff 5 6 7
so i direct upgrade at 7?

which router are you using?

why are you downloading firmware from 3rd party site and not asus official site?

are you running 3rd party firmware?

Are you saying that stock adaptor are prone to spoil easily??? I'm not pro at this voltage and amps thingy. As long as the voltage need to be same as the stock adaptor, the amps slightly higher is ok?


Good business here, foc use for your AC86U plus extra profit~

No lar
I bought & uses 3rd party AC adaptors for 2 reasons:
1. I like to keep the original AC adaptor unused, so easier to convince the buyer that the router is still new
2. Because I like to use AC adaptor that provides higher amps, so whenever the router request for extra power, the AC adaptor can definitely provide it

Yes, it's safe to use to use a 3rd party AC adaptor that supplies the same voltage at higher amps
What you can't do is use a 3rd party AC adaptor that supplies higher / lower voltage but with lower amps
I always do that what
Last time I bought RT-AC68U for RM200 in Taobao then sold it for RM400 haha

Is it cheaper to buy the adaptor online or from LYP? So Asus router uses the 5.5mm head jack?

You can do it again when the RT-AX88U is launch in Malaysia again~

Lazada bro, check the previous link I shared to you
RT-AC5300 & GT-AC5300 AC adaptor tip is 5.5MM x 2.5MM
RT-AC68U & RT-AC86U AC adaptor tip is 4.0MM x 1.35MM
I actually thought of selling my GT-AC5300 at RM1500 and buying RT-AX88U from Taobao

i think X7.9.1 is new one

Hahahaha, then you should have directly go for the RT-AX88U during the 11.11 sales. That time was selling for RMB 2699 (RM 16++), now it is retailing at RMB 2999 (RM 18++).

But if you can sell your GT-AC5300 for RM1.5k, then it is a good profit margin there...

Lets see next month if Asus really launch the RT-AX88U in Malaysia and see what is the RRP then~

You're looking at the wrong firmware
Use official Merlin

Koolshare just modify Merlin further with useless junk
This is the official Merlin: https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/

bro i need to factoy reset and direct upgrade to 384?

You can upgrade directly to Merlin but offcourse the best method is to do factory restore first then only proceed to change to the official Merlin

after factory reset just flash new one ? or from lowest until highest?

Just flash to the latest one
No need to go step by step

Your link is showing the opposite as the hyperlink. Basically AC-86U link opens up to 5.5mm tip. Just to confirm for AC-86U is it 5.5mm tip or 4.0mm?
