Anyones Know Asus RT-AC88U Import set can use in Malaysia?

No not compatible with Unifi. Buy local set.

Bought AC86U from China. Only RMB789 (a year a go). So far so good.

are you serious? where did u get the info from?

Dear TS, yes, it is compatible, the unifi VLAN option is available under the LAN - IPTV section in the firmware.

Yes you can use, but be wary about the warranty
If something goes wrong, you will have to send the router back to China as ASUS Malaysia does not entertain imported unit

Can use in Malaysia but don't buy the used set. Especially the US used set, the quality is bad. If you want to buy this router in cheap price, better go for the new China set. Make sure the router is new in a fully sealed box.

Asus imported sets are universal, I was tried both China and the US set. All are compatible with Unifi.

Maybe this guy is selling local set..... dont blame him, life is not easy.....

This is the example of "know little, act pro"

Asus import set / china set 100% works with unifi or maxis.

thanks all pro reply ,i am planing buy from taobao with merlin firmware, just worries can't use in malaysia .

ASUS router firmware are universal, can be used in any region. No worries. But bear in the mind, if something goes wrong, ASUS Malaysia won't entertain your warranty claims.

I was trying to say that the router meant for Malaysia, you can just select Unifi, Maxis, whatever; but imported one not for Malaysia market you need to set many parameter manually.

Imported set is quite easy actually, just login your pppoe id and password, then go to IPTV settings change to Unifi-Home. Then you can go online already.

Pity him ....

You meant imported model not for Malaysia market has Unifi-Home selection? Unless it is flashed with Malaysia firmware I doubt ....

Asus router is using global firmware, just the BIOS inside of the router was locked to different region. The China set only has 2 languages, Simplified Chinese and English only and the wifi region was set to China region as default. However, you can change to Asia or Australia region for the wifi.

Probably every countries are using different bands on their own country optical fiber broadband. When you connect the Asus router to a Unifi BTU, it will automatic show up Unifi-Home, Unifi Business, Maxis-Home, Maxis Business in the IPTV settings. If you connect to TIME BTU, the router may showing up TIME-Home and TIME-Business too. Since TIME is using the different band, so my router does not showing up TIME in the IPTV list.

Just pick your ISP, then done and ready to enjoy and surf your internet.
