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.

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~

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.
[attachmentid=10078650]

my status.....

depends on devices and distance away from the router.

my Oneplus 6 can get 400mbps+ if very near the router.

Usually around 200 to 300mbps

need help my router cannot connect

I ordered AC86 last Wed, Jan 16 but it’s already 8 days. Status still on Tue, Jan 22, shipped to your destination country. Some of you quite lucky to get it within a few days.

The international tracking number not yet available on the shipping page!

i wanted to buy the below but how to apply the angpow and how to ask the seller whether i will get the free gift as stated:

Care to elaborate a bit more? Cause I couldn't find the "Device" setting/option from my desktop router login...

TQVM...

You can edit your cfe here to make it region free - https://cfeditor.feng.si

yes, it will revert because the region was hardware locked.

No the AC86U CFE is encrypted.
