I am currently using a ASUS RT-AC1300UHP wireless router. I have already upgraded the LAN cables from BTU to router for Gigabit. Unifi has been turboed to 500Mbps. Checked wireless channels and configure it to use a channel where it is not congested. I haven't tested the LAN cable yet but I am absolutely sure it can hit close to my targeted 500Mbps. WiFi 5Ghz max I got was 280Mbps and then I found out that my phone's WiFi hardware, it is only single streaming at 433Mbps so it is about right. 2.4Ghz I can get around 70Mbps to 80Mbps (connected at 92Mbps).
Phone is a Huawei Mate 9 Pro. Haven't tested with my laptop yet for both LAN and wireless.

Configure to a channel that is not congested? 1, 6, or 11? Your phone wifi is not streaming at 433Mbps though, as that is a theoretical max value of 1x1 MIMO. You should try a speedtest on your phone to see real value. By the way, the max speed on wireless for the router is only 300Mbps, so you might need to change router.
But this router's WiFI is 2x2 MIMO for 5ghz at 867Mbps, so theoratically real world speed I should be able to get higher right? I feel that my WiFi speed is limited to my phone's Wifi capabilities since it is only 1x1 MIMO. I'll need to get a 2x2 MIMO WiFi phone to test and see if I can breach 300Mbps on WiFi at home.

Yes, thereotically you should get higher. Set the channel bandwidth for the router to 80MHz, and see if that change things.
I have set mine to 80Mhz....still maxed out at 280Mbps XD but yeah will wait till I can get a better phone to test then I can do some conclusions. Cheers
No worries. Just to let you know that the AC1300UHP does max out at 300Mbps. If you still can't go any higher than 300, it is expected. Click the link to my sig and see list of compatible routers for the 500Mbps speed.
Hey bro, just saw a YT video confirming that the RT-AC1300UHP can even be used for Unifi 800Mbps. My doubts has been answered
For those using dual band routers, do you guys disable the 2.4 Ghz wifi? (assuming that all the devices at your place can use 5Ghz) Just wondering if there are any benefits in doing so, other than somewhat helping (less interference) your neighbors who are still using 2.4 Ghz.
Nope, I didn't disable 2.4Ghz band because my parents HP doesn't support 5Ghz. Another reason would be the signal itself as certain areas of my house the 5Ghz has terrible reception.
Hi, I am looking to reset my ac86u router as I have forgotten the login
wps+power button
aside from that, do i need to prepare the unifi login as well?
Yup, prepare the unifi login credentials and remember to set IPTV profile to unifi home/business. If you're not using Unifi's hypptv in LAN 4, use unifi business to utilise all LAN ports. Then the rest you can configure yourself.
