How many percentage can it achieve out of it's 1.3gbps if the receiver itself also support up to 1.3gbps since it's wireless.
*
even a gigabit LAN also wont achieve full 1gbps.

wireless speed are just theoretical. u wont get full speed as advertised.

From my experience, big improvement not much.

But, ac86u did come with better CPU, more memory, mu-mimo and 4x4 WiFi spatial stream.

If u already got ac68u and it is working well, I would say just stay with it.
*
i was thinking to get ac86u as well but after u mentioned just stay with ac68u im gonna wait for another model to come out then.....

currently using ac68u

My AC86 from taobao ASUS flagship store comes with free fan. Been using it for over a month now. So far so good. Never reboot before.

BTW get it for below RM600 when they have offer RMB 899

Definitely worth it even though warranty could be a hassle.

is the fan position air intake?

How you mount the fans on the router?

Blue tac. Hahaha easy to install and uninstall. Sturdy enough to mount the fans.

I've just upgraded from RT-N56U to AC86U (bought from Taobao)

Tested with LAN can reach up to 500 mbps easily but using 2.4ghz WiFi, I'm getting 60-70mpbs constantly on speedtest.

The issue does not improve at all since upgrading from RT-N56U !!

While on 5ghz, I can reach 200-220mbps which is not much improvement from the old router...

This makes me feel like wasting money on the upgrade.

Appreciate any advice on issue...
*Note : I'm using Unifi Turbo 500mbps
