AC55UHP better than AC86U?
QUOTE(eauyong @ Jan 4 2019, 03:10 PM) Any reasons to ditch the AC55UHP as I found that it is still very fast. Many reported the AC86U can reach 300Mbps on wireless but my AC55UHP can do around 250-270Mbps on ac with usb2.0 dongle. The difference of 30-50Mbps is not much. On LAN, AC55UHP can do the max. at around 903Mbps on a 1Gbps Fibre line.   |

QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Jan 4 2019, 03:48 PM) UL is 1000Mbps ? Actual UL can reach 952Mbps.whoa...that's high The standards of uploads and downloads speed have improved drastically from around 830Mbps in end-2016 to presently above 900Mbps in Singapore. Residential service available are 500Mbps, 1Gbps and 2Gbps symmetrical connection. I really hope standards in Malaysia can improve too as I am using YES 4G LTE in Malaysia, FIZ 2Mbps UNLIMITED asymmetrical connection. |

On LAN, AC55UHP can do the max. at around 903Mbps on a 1Gbps Fibre line. Well for starters I've moved to a much bigger place and a single AC55UHP can't cut it anymore. Getting a single AC86U as the main router to test first with the AC55UHP as a repeater for the time being and see how it works. Will be getting a second AC86U not long down the road for an AiMesh setup.Due to geographical reasons within the house my main desktop will no longer be able to connect directly to the router using cable so looking for faster wireless speeds, coupled with my PCE-AC88 I am looking for at the very least 500mb in wireless speed. Plus I've been dabbling in VPN in recent months and the VPN performance on the 86U is unrivaled. This post has been edited by sigheart: Jan 4 2019, 06:58 PM |

What's the max 5ghz speed you're getting eh on speedtest.net. I'm thinking of resetting my router soon as speeds like capped at 400mbps when my unifi is 800. I'm guessing it is due to mesh. Before I setup mesh my laptop was able to get 600+ |

Does the Asus RT-AC86u bought from China / taobao has the unifi profile built-in the firmware? Or dont have and need to setup unifi manually?

Just to confirm, "yes" meaning the RT-AC86u router (china set) has the unifi profile built in the firmware settings, something like in the screenshot below? Can someone confirm this please? |
