Hi folks.
I managed to find a seller selling Asus RT-AC88U at RM795 after discount. He claimed it is new and comes with 1 year warranty but imported from China. Is this a good price? Maybe it is refurbished?
Thanks.

I can get it from HKD 1460 , around RM 750 for brand new but no warranty

if it is china set, the power adapter needs a converter.Attached Image

The converter is not an issue. If no warranty at all, then it is too risky. Who knows it may be dead on arrival? Are you buying it there or importing via your contact?
That's a bit of concern. If it is an RM70 item, worth the risk la. But this is RM700+ thing.
Wah! Dahsyat. So are you going to import again?

I can get a price from RM860 around with Hong Kong Warranty, power adapter no need converter.

As I will travel to HK 2-3 times yearly, I would buy this if TM upgraded me, now using AC66u only.

Can advise which fiber modem you are using?
I am suspecting that TM would upgrade those using the new generation fiber modem first

because mine one WAN port only support 100Mbps...

HK warranty? So if it happens to go kaput (not sure how likely or how less likely), then you have to wait until your next trip to claim warranty?
I am using TM stock router. So far my wireless is reasonable. My folks usually use their devices in the living room and bedrooms, all well covered. May not be 100% strength but good enough since they are using it for chat and web surfing. Not so much for streaming etc.
I am now wondering if I should upgrade to a more powerful one (although not the most powerful one) such as AC86U.

so far I used for 2 years and no issue..
if any issue then have to wait next trip and go back claim.. if only the power adapter issue then see if get if from shopee/lazada instead of wait for next trip.

i don't use the original TM router as it has only one antenna and not support 5Ghz, also does not have hardware acceleration

oo..meaning that i need to call unifi to upgrade my modem?..Just check portal, shows 500 turbo upgrade already but max speed now only 90+ upload and download. hmm.gif

huh? you get upgraded but using the old modem?

please check your router (if you are using Asus) WAN port speed, or directly plug the cable from PC to their Fiber Modem, see the connection speed is 1Ghz or 100Mbps

if it is showing 100Mbps only, then you have no way to get higher speed until change the fiber modem.

There are still having room to decrease the tariff...
I am paying around RM110 for 1000Mbps in Hong Kong, 30 months contract then with RM900 supermarket cash voucher

I hope TM/Maxis will keep continue improve and decrease the price
