Thank you, really appreciate your effort.

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

Anyone kind enough to do a group buy for 11.11? Looking for AC86U.

because not all part of the page can be google translated.

I've only managed to register an account. tried to checkout for testing purposes but it's still in chinese. (chrome says page is already translated )

I'd risk playing the guessing game if it's for RM50 item, but for RM500+

If u make a group buy I'd be the first one to join..RM50 service charge for your effort?

Any love for gearbest? There's a $100 coupon.

Still waiting for its price on 11.11.

Please google currency conversion..faster to get the result than waiting for people to reply.

Those who bought from official asus tmall, free gifts(fan) shipped together with router? Was told it's shipped separately, that's why my agent still have not shipped it out from china.

if u still can't/don't know how to buy direct from taobao, tons of online agents available..ezbuy buy2taobao wiwaa..

or just get one of the sellers in LYN to buy it from you..normally 10% service fee.

gearbest.com looks ok but never tried them.

Just received mine today too. Total damage RM565 including shipping + 10% agent service fee..price bought was 789 RMB..

kinda late to the party since was waiting confirmation for fan free gift from asus..was told free gifts only for first 500, and finished 55 seconds after 12am

router just updated to latest firmware, wireless region changed to Australia as mentioned by sHawTY, cooler master fan delivered..only pending to buy UK plug..

wondering what else to check for this beast

Just get the cooler master fan as originally recommended by firdausbhari..cheap and gets the job done.

just sharing on my AC86U temperature with cooler master fan.

Aiprotection enabled, but very minimum user at my house (3 devices max online simultaneously).

router position on top of shelf without anything blocking it.

both fans blowing IN. excuse the cable mess..also brightened up the photo a bit.

I've turned off the fan for about 30minutes just to show temperature with & without fan.

so after 5 months, my AC86U just died on me.

Can't even turn on the router. No LED light up at all. Power supply unit is working fine as USB fan attached to the router can still run. Tried connecting via LAN but no response. Tried resetting using Reset button & other methods still wont work.

No choice but to RMA back to China.

anyway, have been using fans (blowing in) since day 1 with temperature never exceeding 60Celcius.

Nothing to do with thunder..was watching smart tv at noon (not raining, sunny weather) when suddenly wifi connection dropped. Checked the router & only LAN 4 LED lights up (very dim). All my devices are powered through Belkin surge protection by the way.

Swapped with original asus power supply unit still no improvement. Both power supply unit are working fine as fan connected to router USB port can still run.

RIP.

Mine has nothing to do with STB..I have no device connected to the router at all through LAN, only the unifi modem.

Just got a quotation from Poslaju, RM70 to send the whole unit to China via Air Parcel, RM280+ if via EMS.

Which one did you choose? Also, poslaju customer service also mentioned China customs do not accept any parcel containing electronic..so no choice but to declare the modem as something else?

So Asus official taobao sent a replacement unit back to me. Now just waiting for it to arrive. Will sell it off since I already have a replacement router.

Some timeline for benefit of others.

11/11 bought router during sale. Flashed merlin, installed cooling fans since 1st day. Router positioned on high cabinet with very minimal dust area. (unlike a poster here who thinks everyone puts their router in a sawmill factory )

13/4 router just died during daytime. No lightning whatsoever, it was a sunny day. No LAN connected except unifi modem.

contacted taobao agent in LYN who bought the router for me to contact Asus China.

23/4 sent router back to China using Poslaju Air Parcel (RM62 + RM15 insurance). Declared parcel as modem. Took 17 days to arrive, quite late since this is the cheapest postage.

10/5 router arrived at Asus China facility.

13/5 Asus China sent new replacement unit to taobao agent warehouse without further question. Problem statement already explained during first communication. Then have to fork out RM44 postage from warehouse to Malaysia.

So total spent for this RMA was RM121.
