taobao asus flagship store out of stock for ac86u

Just received my router. Bought from Lazada seller which is out of stock now. Configuration is straight forward. Make sure you update the latest firmware FIRST before configuring anything to avoid any issues. Learnt this the hard way. Working flawlessly now. Getting full 500mbps on 5ghz wifi on phone.

Anybody using WiFi for their desktop? What are your current solutions to maximize the 500mbps/800mbps?

Anyone of you able to buy this?? Or does this show out of stock?? It's been showing out of stock for few weeks for me...

Yesterday grabbed few coupons, some only able to use during 11/11, I'm gonna wait and see if it apply to ASUS flagship store...

odi sold out

Can teach me how to grab coupons from TB/Tmall? Not that familiar as I hardly buy expensive stuffs from TB/Tmall~

Everyday 8pm, they will sell 50 and 100 RMB worth of coupon for 10 RMB, but only limited to certain items only, unfortunately ac86u is not on the list of items...

Others free coupons you can find it in here, but I don't know if it applied to ASUS store since I have no way to tried it now but on 11/11 only

For the RMB 50 or 100 coupon for RMB10, can we see what items are eligible to use this coupon from the site?

Thanks for the reply though~

I have no idea where did you people heard these kind of rumors from but I need to clarify in here, to proof that no matter you switch to which region, you still connect to your wifi and surf internet in full speed.

Please do not bother about the region issue because we still can connect to wifi no matter in which channels. I have receive a PM recently, someone keep asking me this question. Indeed, it is not too much for you to worry about the channels issue.

here is the default China region,

It actually doesn't matter whether you switch or not to switch to Asia region because it is not a big issue, you still can connect your wifi in China region.

The different is just like this only

China region
[attachmentid=10091894]

Asia region
[attachmentid=10091896]

For China region, the 2.4GHz got all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 channels and 5GHz got 149, 153, 157, 161, 165 channels.

For Asia region, the 2.4GHz also got all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 channels and 5GHz got 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165 channels.

So you can see, the only different is Asia region got 4 more channels "36, 40, 44, 48" for you to choose but why do you need to struggle about the region issue? I have really no idea about your people doubtful.

In Asia region, my router still can connect to channels 149, 153, 157, 161, 165, so why do you need to force yourself to connect to channels 36, 40, 44, 48?

I can still get my China set connect to Unifi, so what do you worry for?

Maybe in the previous post at few weeks ago, I did say have to telnet the territory. It is "optional". You do not necessary to do like that.

The only different is China region do not has google play logo only. The China set Asus router do not link you to Google play store but they got a specific apk store, 豌豆荚. You do not need to struggle about this issue because you can search manually in your phone Google play to download the apk too.

Here is my router AiCloud.

means china set can flash back with asia region  and with Google playstore
?

I was flashed to merlin firmware, then flash back again to asus stock firmware because do not have aimesh in merlin custom firmware.

no, China set was locked to the build serial no. according to snbforums. So no matter where you download the firmware from, either asuswrt-Merlin or Asus official firmware download from Asus Malaysia. It is still showing your Asus firmware as China territory. You only can telnet into the router to temporary edit its territory to Asia Pacific.

However, it will still change back to China territory after you reboot the router. Anyway, this is not a big issue because the China set still can adjust to English interface and set it to Asia region without problem.

Are you saying that i change the region to Asia on any china set Asus router, it will still automatically switch back to China?

Or you are just referring to the hack/mod that you posted few page back?

What is the purpose to use merlin firmware instead of using Asus firmware?

means not for permanent?
if router on off will back to china region

Just change settings to Asia region it will remaining in Asia region but just the territory was locked to China. It not a big issue, you still can set to Asia region in China territory. It won't change back to China region but if you telnet it to Asia Pacific territory, it will revert back to China territory after you reboot the router but settings inside the router still remaining Asia region, don't worry.

If the pricing for GT-AC5300 do REDUCE to RMB 1xxx, it is really a BARGAIN deal~ Any idea whether such price will have limited quantity or applicable on the whole 11.11 sales day?

It didn't say, but I guess while stocks last, which currently it shows 323 left...

Price is out for 11/11... Sort of... And now the RMB 50 and 100 coupons available for whole store items during 11/11....

And for whoever trying to buy the AC86U but it shows out of stock, you can try this link, it's from the same seller...
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10...d=3920856343619

RMB 50 coupon
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10...ene=taobao_shop

RMB 100
coupon https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10...ene=taobao_shop

I'm contacting the Asus Official Tmall CS, they told me the price is not confirmed at RMB 1xxx or is RMB 2xxx.

Few days ago, the GT-AC5300 was price at RMB 2199. And it suddenly changed back to RMB 2699.

I only worry that if purchase during 11.11, the delivery will take much more longer time~
This seller cannot ship directly to MY, so if I use a forwarder to ship back my purchase during 11.11, do you think it will be much faster as compare to direct shipping method by taobao?

Thank you, really appreciate your effort.

Price shown is before using coupon right? If so, then it is very tempting.

I asked them earlier, they can't direct shipping but they can 集运... There's another way by using agents... I'm sure it will take longer time considering it's their busiest day in a year... Now I just need to find the 菜鸟网络 cainiao contact info and ask them directly...
Yup...
