QUOTE(ben3003 @ Nov 23 2018, 07:42 AM) i think ac68u is hard to reach 500mbps.. at most also 300-400 only even if i beside the router. should i upgrade to 86u? It's limited by mobile devices with 2x2. Not the router.   |

QUOTE(denver @ Jan 6 2019, 10:52 PM) Just to confirm, "yes" meaning the RT-AC86u router (china set) has the unifi profile built in the firmware settings, something like in the screenshot below? Yes, I am using China version. They use the same firmware as local one.  Can someone confirm this please?  |

QUOTE(AtMostFear @ May 15 2019, 10:52 PM) 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. Still cheaper than buying local unit. 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.  Mine died for no reason too (have fans installed too). Wireless strength weaken suddenly. Need to put beside router then have connection.  |

No such thing is International Warranty for Asus router.
QUOTE Supplied faulty router from China (GDEX no is not traceable, arrived after 11 days) without warranty card. The speed fluctuates too rapidly and extremely unstable. This China unit can’t get support from Asus MY. Seller refused to support warranty claim unless I change my poor review. So unethical From one of the customer. |
