just found out with Asus store 999 but free 2 fan, another shop 899 without free gift. However mentioned if buy now with 899, in the event 11.11 drop till 850, they will rebate the diff, i.e. 49 back to u.

QUOTE(thunderbird @ Nov 2 2018, 09:58 AM) Based on the hints given by Taobao, i am guessing the price for this router on 11.11 will be RMB799 or RMB749. Asus own voucher if 699 discount 10TMall voucher if 400 discount 50 Angpow 8 so if all voucher is 68 Let say if 799, then become 731 = RM 441...  |

QUOTE(cskean @ Nov 7 2018, 03:42 PM) Crazy Sales on TMall during 11.11 Just checked with their customer service, the price still subject to change.RT-AC86U : RMB 789 (1st 100 units) RT-AC5300 : RMB 1199 (1st 100 units) GT-AC5300 : RMB 1799 (1st 100 units) For those who interested with the RT-AC5300, can try your luck during 08.11, they are offering at RMB 799, but only LIMITED to 1 unit!!! Just wondering will their system able to handle the traffic? Cause is my 1st time buying there during such event. A bit worry it will be like some of our local promo time, their website load like snail from booking till payment... Need to refer to the price on that day itself. |

QUOTE(cskean @ Nov 7 2018, 04:16 PM) Are you checking with the Official Asus Tmall store? Checked with ASUS official shop.I did refer to few other tmall store which sell Asus router too, for GT-AC5300 this model all is pricing it at RMB 1799. Some store even gurantee to return the price difference if you happen to find cheaper price compare to them. So I guess mostly will be the final price liao. But of course if they manage to lower it on that day, it would be even better... Hopefully my 1st 11.11 purchase will have a pleasant experience.... Other shop also got the price gurantee, mean if now u buy with 799, on 11.11, sell 750, they will return 49 to u. |

QUOTE(window0722 @ Nov 8 2018, 09:51 AM) Hey bro.I have read many commend but still not sure , somebody say taobao direct or wherehouse forward will reject from custom because is sensitive item.Somebody say is ok no any blocking.So can you comfirm with me your by experiense.Thanks For those sensitive items, confirmed Taobao direct shipment cannot, if can u are super lucky.u need to get a local agent, where the items u purchased will delivery to China local agent warehouse with no cost. And u need to ship the items from that third party warehouse to Malaysia either through Air or Sea. for sensitive item, Air will need about 5-7 days while Sea normally 25 days. The charges is normal shipment charges + sensitive charges. U can try the agent i used for many year at "www.rapidmy.com". Bought tone of sensitive products before and no issue to delivery to Malaysia. |

QUOTE(willaw @ Nov 9 2018, 01:13 PM) Says here no warranty. According to reviews, about 1 to 2 weeks. Current Offer at Taobao will be RMB 789Yeah. The cheapest I found in this forum is RM615 not including shipping and agent fees. With 1st coupon from Asus show -RMB10 With coupon from Taobao, > RMB400 - RMB50 So the revised price may RMB 789 - 10 - 50 = RMB 729 Assuming the total weight for the router is 1.5kg, so the air shipment cost by using skynet will be 1) 1st KG = RMB 21 2) Balance 0.5kg = RMB 20 3) Sensitive 1st KG= RMB 30 4) Sensitive balance 0.5kg = RMB 0.5 So total air shipment cost = 21 + 20 +30 + 0.5 = 71.5 Total cost incurred will be RMB 729 + 71.5 = RMB 800.5 With exchange rate 1 RMB = RM 0.60 Total cost in RM = RM480.83.

QUOTE(cskean @ Nov 13 2018, 02:30 PM) Just receive update from my taobao app, my router is at the warehouse ady... If you compared their tracking system on the parcel delivery, our local courier company no way near them.Now still left 1 more item to arrive, then it can be ship back to Malaysia... Yaya, this is my 1st shopping during 11.11 with taobao. Before this I heard a lot of negative feedback during such event. But to my surprise, things went smooth after all... D't know when Malaysia can have such tracking system..... |

OMG, the first 500 purchased AC86U completed the transaction within 55 sec, no wonder i do not receive any free gift.

Just got time to install my AC86U yesterday, the speed is slightly better than AC55u, not sure what is the problem or any setting i miss out.
My unifi Package : 800mbps Speed Test : 480-510 mbps (both Lan and Wifi) Direct link download : 11mpbs max BT download : 21mbps max the download load speed not sure is it capped at 11mbps due to the source server or not. Try few file also like that. Is there any1 can get higher than this? This post has been edited by ulala2: Nov 30 2018, 09:04 AM |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 30 2018, 10:31 AM) Something wrong there mind to share lino for any large file u download with that kind of download rate.RT-AC86U is more than capable of handling 800Mb/s speed Did you by any chance enabled the QOS? If you did, disable it and run the speedtest through LAN cable again Also, try to differentiate between Mb & MB b - bit B - Byte 8 bits equals to 1 byte 100Mb/s ÷ 8 = 12.8MB/s 800Mb/s ÷ 8 = 100MB/s I'm using UniFi 500Mb/s and I can reach 62.5MB/s just fine using direct download Coz suspected something the source server capped the download rate. Contacted TM, they ask to screen shot and monitor for further, if still same, they will reset the port and try again. |
