According to the seller above, they say the GT-AC5300 is able to flash with Merlin FW? Can someone confirm this?

Cause I remember I read some where, RT-AC5300 & GT-AC5300 can't be flash with Merlin~
RT-AC5300 yes
GT-AC5300 no

RMerlin himself said this, he's not going to support GT-AC5300

Which make me think twice before getting a router from them.
Why? It's not like you need Merlin to connect to UniFi / Maxis Fibre
The original ASUS firmware works just fine with UniFi & Maxis Fibre

Merlin firmwares just provide something extra

Guys, just to clarify one thing, all the Asus routers that we buy from taobao, can support unifiTV right? Model like RT-AC86U, RT-AC5300 and GT-AC5300...
Yes. All ASUS routers uses global firmware so they already have UniFi profile configured into the firmware

Can I continue to use my UNIFI land line after switching to this router?
Yes. Because with UniFi the telephone is connected to the BTU, not to the router

PS: Maxis is a different animal

I wouldn't found that too... Cause I searched through AC86U, never searched using AC2900 for the same router, in this case 2900m...
What are you talking about? I typed AC86U & RT-AC86U result for both came out easily

Apa korang merepek ni. I can checkout just fine for all RT-AC86U both from official ASUS TMall store & the 3rd party store
Only the ¥799 cannot ship outside

And to those whose looking to buy a router, if you guys worry too much about shipment sangkut la, shipment lambat la, just buy now la, why need to wait 11.11?
The discounts is not going to be that big
For example, the 899 is only going to be reduced to 799, that's only RM60 cheaper
Later your item hilang and seller refuse to refund, you get nothing in return

I'm waiting for the 11.11 sales for GT-AC5300. The difference quite big, as of now is RMB 2699, when 11.11 all indicate ard RMB 1xx6. So assuming is RMB 1996, is going to be RMB 703 cheaper~
That is an exception because of the huge discount
But for the RT-AC86U, my advise is to just go ahead and buy now instead of waiting longer & risk the item getting damaged / lost in transit

between lyra trio and rt-ac86u aimesh 2x
which is better?
Go with RT-AC86U using mesh configuration
Although direct cabling between the 2 routers is way better than using Mesh configuration

Anyway, how is ur AC86U perform? Speed and coverage wise? I hope that the GT-AC5300 will be able to cover 90% of my house area~
So far so good, no issue whatsoever. 12 devices connected at all time. Coverage about 5 ~ 10% better than my previous RT-AC68U

Just that the price for GT-AC5300 makes me feel like this model more worth it for long run...
Ever thought of going straight to the wireless AX?
I.E. the RT-AX88U?

Future-proof

So are you joining the GT series too?
Perhaps not
If I'm gonna jump, I'd go straight to Wireless AX

Not worth it going from Wireless AC to Wireless AC again
