Yesterday I was received more stuffs from taobao to upgrade and replace the power adapter for my RT-AC86U.

Firstly, I was bought a router wall shelf to put my BTU and router. Then replace the Asus original 2 pin China socket to UK socket power adapter.

[attachmentid=10070692]

Then bought a pair of fans to attach on to my RT-AC86U but the double taps do not attach firmly and will drop down because the air flows are too strong. So I was tried to tie them up with wires along the antennas to avoid the two fans drop down.

After that, I was bought two Cat7 LAN cable too. To replace my BTU > router > gigabit switch old cat6 cables.

[attachmentid=10070678]

After replace the Cat7 cable, my BTU don't has enough space to put on the tray because the Cat7 cable behind are too  thick and hardly to bend it. So I was rotated the BTU to put like this, then attach one more custom made fan on the BTU.

hi guys, I got good some good thing to share with you all guys for who bought Asus router from China.
I was found a method to switch this China router to Asia Pacific version.
I was noticed that this router only got 2 languages only. Either English or Simplfied Chinese. So I guess I need to do something tricks to change the region of this router firmware to Asia version.
**Unfortunately, the region will restore back to China region after reboot. So you need to redo this method again.

First of all, you need to login into your router and switch on telnet. Go to administration > system, then switch telnet to "Yes"
[attachmentid=10078627]

Then download and install Putty here
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatha...tty/latest.html

Start Putty, then login 192.168.1.1 as telnet mode and leave port as 23
[attachmentid=10078630]

Now login your router with your router username and admin password [your router password]. You will see the screen as below:
[attachmentid=10078641]

Now type this,
nvram set territory_code=AP/01
nvram=commit

[attachmentid=10078642]

Now login your router through browser and check for the change
Some of the proof:
as you know, China was blocked Google play.
[attachmentid=10078648]

before that, only got English and Chinese Simplified
[attachmentid=10078649]

The wifi region is no longer showing China as default region.

expensive , i bought less than rm 600 including shipping to my

I found RMB 829. I saw you guy buy 899?

[attachmentid=10081239]

Last year 11/11 lowest price RMB 699 for AC86U, RMB 799 - 100 with coupon... Some claims RMB 649...

really? I am thinking of wait until 11.11 to grab one more RT-AC86U for building aimesh.

Yeah.I noticed that reputation can be bought/manipulated.
If the differential sum is not that significant, I still will opt for the cheaper version, if significant diff between 2 product, i will play safe to go for expensive seller

Cross finger, so far no issue with my purchase from taobao

I have no idea where did you people heard these kind of rumors from but I need to clarify in here, to proof that no matter you switch to which region, you still connect to your wifi and surf internet in full speed.

Please do not bother about the region issue because we still can connect to wifi no matter in which channels. I have receive a PM recently, someone keep asking me this question. Indeed, it is not too much for you to worry about the channels issue.

here is the default China region,
[attachmentid=10091879]

It actually doesn't matter whether you switch or not to switch to Asia region because it is not a big issue, you still can connect your wifi in China region.
[attachmentid=10091889]

[attachmentid=10091884]

The different is just like this only

China region
[attachmentid=10091894]

Asia region
[attachmentid=10091896]

For China region, the 2.4GHz got all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 channels and 5GHz got 149, 153, 157, 161, 165 channels.

For Asia region, the 2.4GHz also got all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 channels and 5GHz got 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165 channels.

So you can see, the only different is Asia region got 4 more channels "36, 40, 44, 48" for you to choose but why do you need to struggle about the region issue? I have really no idea about your people doubtful.

In Asia region, my router still can connect to channels 149, 153, 157, 161, 165, so why do you need to force yourself to connect to channels 36, 40, 44, 48?

I can still get my China set connect to Unifi, so what do you worry for?

Maybe in the previous post at few weeks ago, I did say have to telnet the territory. It is "optional". You do not necessary to do like that.

The only different is China region do not has google play logo only. The China set Asus router do not link you to Google play store but they got a specific apk store, 豌豆荚. You do not need to struggle about this issue because you can search manually in your phone Google play to download the apk too.

If you still have doubtful, please visit https://ccvun2.asuscomm.com
Here is my router AiCloud.

Are you saying that i change the region to Asia on any china set Asus router, it will still automatically switch back to China?

Or you are just referring to the hack/mod that you posted few page back?

Wow, this is cheaper by RMB 200 from the Official Asus Tmal....

Based on the hints given by Taobao, i am guessing the price for this router on 11.11 will be RMB799 or RMB749.

Anyone found seller in taobao that ships ac86 to Malaysia? I cannot find one.

Anyone purchase during 11.11 taobao before? Any idea how long will the item send out and reach to Malaysia?
