Since unifi is providing free upgrade soon, i guess everyone is looking to upgrade their router to get the best possible result.
i recently got my a refurbished unit of ASUS RT-AC68U from taobao for around rm 300. delivery will take around 2 weeks to reach my doorstep. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....ns=1&abbucket=7 For those who cant read chinese (like me), i use google translate to help me during the payment process A quick search at taobao also revealed asus rt-ac86u at around rm 500~ Anyone had experience buying this router from taobao can also share your experience here hope this helps  |

QUOTE(kennethlee0803 @ Jul 16 2018, 12:42 PM) Your unit of ASUS RT-AC68U from taobao can use for unifi? Your ISP profile option list have unifi option to choose? Can. I flash with merlin and have that unifi optionBecause i just ask the seller in taobao they reply me dont have unifi option in the ISP profile. Without that option then we unable to connect UNIFI internet right ? |

QUOTE(kennethlee0803 @ Jul 16 2018, 03:41 PM) Oh, great. I thinking to get one also from the link you share because it cheaper a lot lol. I think if your router is working fine at the moment just wait la. My router was going kaput so thats why i upgrade. I think tm will upgrade to a better router soonSince unifi going to turbo upgrade my 50mbps to 500mbps package soon. For sure i need to change new router in order to support 500 speed. Not sure TM Unifi will provide what type of router to support that speed and how much is the top up. I dunno should i buy now first or wait. Abit worried the quality since is refurbished, so you using now and running fine? You pick 彩盒 95成新 ？ |

Direct shipping. No custom kenaMay I know which delivery option did you guys choose that have avoided those procedures/charges? |
