But you would need a custom firmware for the VLAN tagging or else you would need a VLAN bridging device.

rm500 for AC86U?? thats cheap..... now im thinking if i wanna get one.

Asus router in Malaysia damn expensive......tax here tax there. now gov already change, cant they do anything about this?

Nothing to do with Malaysian tax. Asus are selling it significantly cheaper in China to compete with other Chinese brand. They had no chance to compete if they are selling same price as they do worldwide.

How come Asus Malaysia selling the ac86u for RM1088 but China new one is this cheap?

It's the other way around. Asus sells their router pretty much same price around the world with exception a little higher in Europe but selling at extremely cheap in China. They are doing so because they need to compete with Chinese router brand and their profit margin allowed them to do so.

I was just received my Asus RT-AC86U today. So surprised for the speed performance. Just can describe my old RT-AC55UHP really can't fight with this beast.
It was my first time to use that powerful router. OK, for those guy who are using RT-AC55UHP here. Indeed, this router only can reach maximum 300~320mbps on wired. My Unifi package is 500mbps turbo. Yes, this is about your router problem but not Unifi problem. So for those user here, if you are still using RT-AC55UHP and your home have any fiber broadband connection with more than 300mbps speed. Please upgrade your router as soon as possible. This is my advise.

One more thing I like to confirm in here, this router RT-AC86U (China Version) is using the same DC adapter with RT-AC68U. So you guys can buy the size 4.4*1.35mm from shopee, lazada or lelong.

This is my new router, RT-AC86U.

This is official Asus firmware, I did not flash to Merlin custom firmware. Fully support Unifi without problem.

Hey, dude just a question. How many channels does the RT-AC86U has on the 5GHz band.

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
