I was just received my Asus RT-AC86U today. So surprised for the speed performance. Just can describe my old RT-AC55UHP really can't fight with this beast.
It was my first time to use that powerful router. OK, for those guy who are using RT-AC55UHP here. Indeed, this router only can reach maximum 300~320mbps on wired. My Unifi package is 500mbps turbo. Yes, this is about your router problem but not Unifi problem. So for those user here, if you are still using RT-AC55UHP and your home have any fiber broadband connection with more than 300mbps speed. Please upgrade your router as soon as possible. This is my advise.

One more thing I like to confirm in here, this router RT-AC86U (China Version) is using the same DC adapter with RT-AC68U. So you guys can buy the size 4.4*1.35mm from shopee, lazada or lelong.

This is my new router, RT-AC86U.

This is official Asus firmware, I did not flash to Merlin custom firmware. Fully support Unifi without problem.

Only 5 channel options to choose or just leave it in Auto mode. I was left "Enabled smart connect", everything in auto no manual option to choose.

I've just upgraded from RT-N56U to AC86U (bought from Taobao)

Tested with LAN can reach up to 500 mbps easily but using 2.4ghz WiFi, I'm getting 60-70mpbs constantly on speedtest.

The issue does not improve at all since upgrading from RT-N56U !!

While on 5ghz, I can reach 200-220mbps which is not much improvement from the old router...

This makes me feel like wasting money on the upgrade.

Appreciate any advice on issue...


*Note : I'm using Unifi Turbo 500mbps

This is China version, yes it is legit but no Asus Malaysia warranty. You need to buy a universal adapter to plug in the China adapter.
See mine, which is bought from China. Works for Unifi like a charm.

Why does it matter? For RM569, you can just buy the UK 3 pin ac adaptor
If you worry too much then buy the ASUS Malaysia unit

Just Google how China plug pin look like if unsure. Agreed, if worry... Just buy Malaysia set. The title already so clear that the item from China unless too busy to read comments,then too bad. Can't help...

Wonder if they provide the receipt from asus china with the 3 year warranty or if they remove the receipt as it says “No Warranty Available” on the product listing page?

Hi all sifus,

I just bought a AC86U from taobao, i connect the LAN1 from BTU to WAN connection at my AC86U, select the PPPoe connection and key in Unifi account and password but after go to main page it shown not connected.

I saw several post, the Quick Internet Setup (QIS) page from my ASUS 86U is different with other people,
