Asus Tmall seems to be out of stock for AC-86U. What other sellers do you guys recommend?

you need to create a China address. Go visit this website and login with your facebook account.

go to warehouse address by select the left panel. then choose one of the addresses you like.

go back to taobao then login your account. in the taobao webpage, move your mouse cursor to your taobao username at above, click on account management.
then click on 收货地址 and insert your china address. Remember to set your China address as the default.

So now you can buy the router from tmall. Switch to China then click checkout, then choose your Malaysia address in the checkout page.

Always login to your taobao first before you proceed to search that router to buy from tmall.

Hi, would like to ask, if purchase asus 86 from taobao, will there be problem with the plug since is a china version plug? here can use? need to buy adapter?

Not much problem, I was bought a UK leg adapter from taobao to replace the original asus adapter but the DC plug head got some problem. The head can plug to my router but problem is when I slightly move the router, the adapter cannot tightly lock on the DC socket of my router. My router keep power off and power on. So in the end, I was using back the original Asus adapter. The adapter is using China 2-pin leg. I was went down electrical shop to buy an universal adapter, Make sure is buy the good quality one, so you can plug the China 2-pin socket tightly on the universal adapter.

I am using the good quality one, so everything are attached tightly. Not much problem for me for the China socket.

Ok. By using the UK leg adapter over normal universal adapter, will there any particular difference in term of performance of this router? and which brand of universal adapter you bought? price? any particular brand i shall look out for? Tq.

You think software developers and firmware engineers provide update just for suka suka?
Firmware / software updates are created to fix bugs & to close a vulnerability

If you want to live with the bugs / vulnerabilities in your devices so other people can hack into your network & access your data, then yes, you don't need to update

Bought mine from this seller.

I bought directly from Taobao (Google translate )

you using universal adapter to connect?

Yeahhh you'll have to use that. Luckily I had one lying around

I think you should keep the original Asus power adapter, only the original DC adapter has the best built quality. No brand for the universal adapter, just got a red light power indicator on the universal adapter.
