Just got a quotation from Poslaju, RM70 to send the whole unit to China via Air Parcel, RM280+ if via EMS.

Which one did you choose? Also, poslaju customer service also mentioned China customs do not accept any parcel containing electronic..so no choice but to declare the modem as something else?

I sent back to China using Pos Malaysia Air Parcel inclusive with tracking which costs me RM51. Managed to reach my seller within 2 weeks. I declared my package as modem too. Be sure to contact your seller prior to returning the router first.

Try forwarding agent will be more safe to reach?

This is the cheapest I found in different forwarding agent available.

i wanna ask, those buy from china ac68u, oledi flash with merlin koolshare, if wan switch to normal asus firmware or merlin, just flash only? or need some step?

Restore to factory default> Flash Merlin > Restore to factory default again

Buy from local store lah, even it is more expensive worth every ringgit you spent.
This router very good for setting up vpn router, update the firmware with vpn provider's firmware, very secure.
You can have many devices...computer, laptop, smartphone, smart TVs..etc.... can use vpn.

Just placed an order. Bought it at RM 529 after voucher and discount. Comes with free fan and deliver.

Any link for it mate .

Brand New China set.

My RT-AC86U was bought at 24 Sept 2018. Considered it start using it from October 2018 until now. Already 7 months of usage, so far so good. Don't know why you guys Asus router bought from China got so much problems and need to send back to China for RMA?




Did your people attach fans on your RT-AC86U? If no then better do it now.


I was noticed that the 3M tape can't attach the two fans firmly on my router. So I just hang the two fans with wires and tie up the wires around the antennas.

Do you understand the concept of manufacturing fault?
A few units in the manufacturing batches may become faulty, this happens to all manufacturers

There is no way to produce a 100% perfect product for every single unit

Also buy thing with LUCK.

This is depends on how and where did they put their router. Since Malaysia here has hot weather unlike China. China is -20'c ~ 20'c between very cold to cool weather country. That's why I say the manner on how do you treat your router. Also how is your house environment? Dirty? Dusty? Hot until 34'c? No aircond?

I also saw many of you, your BTU and router are dirty until like 10 years never wipe out the dust. That's what I describe as a rude user.

It has nothing to do with cooling
Read through this topic and you will see that 2 out 3 users in here with a dead AC86U does use fans on their routers but their routers still end up dead

Again, it has nothing to do with cooling, it's a manufacturing fault. Read what I said earlier, there is no way to get 100% quality on every unit

I am using AC86U from China as well, without fan. When I touch the back of the router, I didn't feel hot.

Did anyone feel really hot at the back of the router? Thank you

Install Merlin firmware then you will be able to see the temperature of the router's CPU
