Mine shipped d, why you so slow?
I paid at 10PM wor

How much did you paid for GT-AC5300?

How?

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 Kind of outdated for 5 years ago when im on ac66u till changed ac86u this year.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.

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 I mean im 5 years outdated from router technology.

You forgot about the processor

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

mine one also shipped out, expected tomorrow reach my warehouse

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.

I was from stock dlink d615 orange color router to asus ac66u till this year ac86u 1st unit from gearbest. 2nd units ac86u still not yet ship out to my warehouse.

I changed my router from the first day I registered with UniFi

ASUS RT-N16 <-- 1st 3rd party router I've ever bought
ASUS RT-AC68U
ASUS RT-AC88U
ASUS RT-AC86U
ASUS GT-AC5300 (soon when it arrives )

And some crappy TP-Links & D-Links in between
TP-Link TL-WR1043ND
TP-Link TL-WDR4300
TP-Link Archer C5
TP-Link Archer C7
TP-Link Archer C9 <-- Final TP-Link I've ever bought before I give up on TP-Link because of their crappy hardware & crappy firmware. Some of the models are so bad even OpenWRT couldn't save it
D-Link DIR-615
D-Link DIR-850L

All of them is good. Although the RT-AC88U is a bit tacky, but not as bad as the TP-Link routers

Currently the RT-AC86U is my favourite, hopefully the GT-AC5300 will be my new favorite
Although the lack of Merlin for it is going to be a bit of a downer

I upgraded a lot
I don't know about their USB Wireless Adaptors but their PCI-Express Wireless Adaptors is acceptable
Merlin extra features:

I bought from the official Asus Tmall using third party forwarder (ECTbuy). The shipping fee I paid was RMB42 (RM25) not sure if it is expensive or not. Maybe some folks here can share their shipping cost.

I chose Poslaju as the local courier to deliver. Some folks here suggested GDEX but too late for me to change it haha.

Yeah I didn’t know this item is considered sensitive. I got excited just simply selected one to have it shipped fast haha.

Will know soon if sangkut at customs and Sirim a not. If yes then I pay tax and Sirim approval what to do. I done it before a bit more hassle but it is ok given a lot of cost saved buying from China.

My gut feel is it is only 1 item usually won’t get inspected. Customs will check those more than one item based on my long purchasing history from Aliexpress

The process begins when you track the package  it says held up at customs. Then you will receive a call from the courier saying that the package needs approval.

For electronics first is to get Sirim approval done fully online. This is easy and fast as they give E-Permits, same item only need one permit. Sirim will ask for the product brochure and data sheet. Provide it to them and once they approve it is RM30 per permit. Typically if it is common item like router they know what it is already and will give approval. Forward the approval to the courier and your package is release partially.

Then with that permit, I head down to KLIA distribution center, there is a pick up counter next to custom counter. Pick up the item first, then walk to the custom counter to show the purchase receipt. Custom will ask to pay tax based on the final purchase price. Walk to another counter beside to pay the tax, walk back to custom counter take your stuff and go home.

Straight forward process just need to take time to do it. If courier do for you easier just give them the permit and pay them back when they deliver to your door step.

1. Yup one permit for the same item.

2. Can be the screenshot from Taobao/Tmall. Basically custom just want to verify the price as sometimes the courier don’t declare.

3. Tax at that time was 6% macam GST. There is a long list I myself never go through because sangkut already pay only the tax.

4.Big courier like DHL/UPS/FEDEX only will assist on paying the tax. Permit you have to do yourself, they will not assist.

Nope, you?

whos router have been send out from ware house

Same as me, mine is still on the way to the warehouse

China warehouse received my items, currently pending the rest of my order to come, I am very impressed with their speedy courier services for this year 11.11

If you compared their tracking system on the parcel delivery, our local courier company no way near them.

D't know when Malaysia can have such tracking system.....

Guys the highest chance for error/longest delay for the entire process is actually at the consolidating/collection warehouse. The warehouses will be so full that it could take up to 1 month to clear all the deliveries. As I've mentioned before my orders last year too about 2 months to arrive to me in Malaysia due to warehouse overfilling. This is the risk you all have to be willing to accept when buying during 11.11 or 12.12

Good luck to you all!

Just tracked my parcel, it's being delivered to the warehouse using lorry and the route seems like 600KM

Actually this is my first time using the Taobao app, previously I only access Taobao through their website

Also, damn you to racun me.   Bought this:
