Asus router firmware is global so there's no worry about it. Other brands separated by region so you might have trouble getting them to work here.

TM came and replaced my router with DIR842 with MU-MIMO.

Package is 500Mbps.

They tested with their thick Cat6 cable on their and mine devices and achieved 520+ Mbps.

They tested 2.4 Ghz and got about 170+ to 200+ Mbps.

And 5ghz above 200+ .
Now , I got 3 questions.

1. Does this router sufficient for the time being before I buy something better to ultilize 300Mbps and above on Wi-Fi?

2. How so no login to the Router? They set it up and now I forget to ask for the password. I found there's user password on the bottom, do they use that during set up?

3. They recommend me getting new Wi-Fi adapter with A.C and I have one in mind, DWA182, should be good for getting close to 500Mbps or DWA192?

They tested my Cat5e and strangely it maxed at about 90mbps
*
I had bought the DWA-182 and tried it out and it just struggling to get stable 300Mbps even in very ideal conditions.

No lol, if Cat6 i can get 500Mbps , i wouldn't mind now, i figured how to route but not the nicest.

Update : DWA182 on AC gets me 282.45 Mpbs  and 106.96 Mbps, seems pretty good ?
*
That's pretty much close to the maximum potential of this adapter

Turbo-ed to 500Mbps. Speedtest result average 520Mbps download and 102Mbps upload speed using cable. Router is ac66u. But on iphone x only can achieve download speed average 220Mbps on 5Ghz ac. Do i need a better router to increase speed on my iphone?

Your phone only had 1x1 antenna so it's consideered pretty good to have such result. Nothing you can do to improve the situation unless you buy phone with 2x2 antenna (which is very rare).

Means cant use 5ghz ?

No. The total numbers of 5GHz channel legally available to be used as it differs from countries. Asus hardcoded it into the router and there's no way to remove it. Less channel available means you are more likely to have inteference in case of environment where there is multiple 5GHz broadcast around.

Channels legally available in China is lesser than in Malaysia.

Does it apply to only China models or those in USA also the same? Meaning it's region locked? So if around my place no one uses 5ghz frequency then it should be ok?
*
Apply to all devices around the world. Technically, I wouldn't call it region lock but the baseband are hardcoded to respect the local law where it was sold.

Yes it would be fine if no one is using 5GHz around you but it will change in thee near future when dual band adoption rate increases.

I wan to have better coverage in my house, would the archer c5400 be a better option other than c3150?don't really need the extra 5ghz band though
*
In terms of coverage, I wouldn't say it makes a difference. Even if so, it's minimal.

To have good coverage, you need AP around your house besides from router
