How much did you paid for GT-AC5300?

I paid during 11.11, within the 1st hour of sales. But this seller already mention before, they will face high order and will need more time to ship all the order out. The reason I opt for this seller is because is an official asus store, and prior to 11.11, their CS explained a lot of my queries... So I choose to stick with them even it will take longer time for my item to ship out...

Btw, are you going to buy insurance for your router?


RMB 1789, exclude shipping fee back to MY~

How?

Not sure whether taobao/tmall got such service or not.

I got an insurance agent introduced by the forwarder, he is from china insurance company and specialize on shipment insurance. Their premium is about 5% of your insured amount...

But need to communicate with them via QQ messenger, and make payment through Alipay...

For those who missed the 11.11 deal for the GT-AC5300, can still grab it at HERE, seller stated RMB 2199 at their page, but when you check out, they will immediately deduct another RMB 200, which make it RMB 1999 ONLY, exclude shipping back to Malaysia...

Don't miss the final boat ya~

Was wondering, why choose gt-ac5300? Please enligthen me. Kind of outdated for 5 years ago when im on ac66u till changed ac86u this year. I grabbed another ac86u for aimesh on 1111 sales.

Spec wise I think is better than AC86U, as you can do a comparison from Asus website.

My main reason are :

- better spec (more ram)
- wider coverage (my personal perspective, cause got more antennas)
- more LAN port, even now I only use it for 1 IPTV, but might include Unifi STB in future.
- not a network expert, so setup 1 router would be easier for me, instead of having few routers...

Are you sure this GT-AC5300 is 5 years old model? Or is it RT-AC5300?

Sorry. My bad. I mean im 5 years outdated from router technology.

I bought RT-AC88U from someone who bought it from Lazada (china set)..
guess what, I pay RM400 for this 1-month-old router..haha..

Oh, is ok... I'm even longer than you. In fact I'm still using the stock router which TM gave me. TP-Link AC1200, which I got it during my RYE 100 upgrade.

Just check my router is ready to be ship out... Luckily no need to wait till 20th Nov~

You forgot about the processor

RT-AC86U is dual core 1.8GHz
GT-AC5300 is quad core 1.8GHz

Oh ya, how could I forget about this...


I'm not sure when will mine arrive at my forwarder warehouse, but I'm happy enough cause no need to wait till 20th Nov...

AC-86U from the official Asus store is suppose to reach tomorrow. Pretty amazing this shipping time is true. Now hopefully not stopped by custom or Sirim.
Hope you guys get yours soon too.
