Unfortunately I do not have that option in the menu on my router. I read it somewhere in snb forum that the setting for region maybe locked in units that are sold in certain region. It’s something to do with the bootloader, but I’m not too sure.

Is your unit brand new from China? China units doesn’t have this feature locked iinm.

If you're talking about RT-AC86U from China, yes it's locked

I just found out that those channels between 100-140 are not supported on my local unit of PCE-ac68. Okay, case closed. Just make sure to do more research on what you’re buying into.

RT-AC86U is selling at rm790 at shopee asus official store now!

Wondering why so cheap?

The shopee one is 100% imported China set. Go read the 1 star review on warranty claimed.

Thanks for sharing, but its China set.

@tientien mentioned that its from Offical Store

Looks like it's drop shipped from China.

yes this one, theres 7% discount coupon to apply to make it below rm800. i think this should be local set?

Thanks, didn't realize there's a 7% discount

wait till 8pm for the extra discount from shocking sale. won't be much but any savings is savings.

i bought rt-ac66u b1 for rm429.36 after discounts from mono digital
had to really hold my hand from buying ac86u considering the really attractive price.
ah well, rt-ac66u b1 is sufficient to cover all corners of a 1.5 storeys house + full speed for maxis 300mbps

I think it's an excellent choice, AX WiFi 6 routers should appear probably next year.

how did u get discount till 429?

Is Asus RT-AC86U still good to buy ? So many negative comments especially overheating. I kinda phobia with Asus brand, had bad experiences with their product before and went through RMA few times.
