Damn, I just bought the US refurbished set that you could find on Lazada. Hope I didn't make the wrong choice for not picking the import China set :/
Reason why I didn't go for the China set was because the US refurbished seller allows for 1 to 1 replacement if anything goes wrong. The China set seller seems a bit more tricky to claim warranty. This post has been edited by IntensiveBytes: Feb 20 2020, 06:27 PM |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Feb 20 2020, 11:33 PM) Let me tell you a little story about US refurbished set. FML! Too late to cancel the order now. Just gonna have to cross my fingers and hope for the best. Should have consulted here first T_TThey are all returned in US due to some defects and sent to China for repair before getting into your hands. One potential issues that may happen after some time is malfunctioning 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.  |

QUOTE(junclj @ Feb 21 2020, 09:32 AM) Don't think about the warranty issue if you want to buy cheap Asus router. Usually the new China set rarely has malfunctioning/fault issue as long as you buy the 100% complete new and fully sealed box from the sellers. I got one China RT-AC86U bought at October 2018 which is still serving me until today. If you are still worried about the China set may get malfunctioning, make sure you have to buy and attach the Asus router fans. Well, it's too late for me now. I bought the US refurbished set before I knew about this. I can't cancel my order because the seller already shipped it. I'm not sure what I can do now other than hope that it doesn't malfunction, unless I can claim a return/refund with the seller.Don't buy the US refurbished set, I have bad experienced with it already. Just back to December last year, the router just get malfunctioning after 2 weeks of usage. This router is what we described as "foreign trash". Do you know what is foreign trash?  The Chinese dealer buy the malfunctioned routers then send them to repair. After repair done, then resell them to us. However, the router is really has very bad quality. I was experienced it before. You see now why I already threw it then buy another one new China set for my home AiMesh node. |

Guys, please don't buy the US set. I just received mine today and it's been problematic. As another person on this thread told me, 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi has massive issues. Well, I just got mine today and the exact thing is happening
2.4GHz wifi doesn't work, 5GHz wifi keeps disconnecting and speed is barely 5Mbps on my 1Gbps connection. So to those of you reading this be careful if you're getting the US 'refurbished' set. Now debating if I wanna get China brand new set or shell out the extra RM400-500 for Malaysia set. This post has been edited by IntensiveBytes: Feb 23 2020, 03:00 AM |

QUOTE(firdausbhari @ Feb 23 2020, 02:39 AM) Thats terrible. Lesson learned. Indeed, lesson learned the hard way.Just go for MY unit. Peace of mind. Restarted the router earlier which fixed it temporarily. Not even 20 minutes later and wifi is back to crap again. Can't even stream a video locally from my NAS. Filed for a return claim via Lazada, might have to just pick up a unit at a store tomorrow... |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Feb 23 2020, 08:17 AM) What model did you buy? Yeah you are right. For the RT-AC86U, original ASUS Malaysia set is only RM210 extra I bought the 'refurbished US' set from Lazada here, RM788: https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asus-rt-...s229208529.html I was basing my pricing off of the 'China' one here for RM688: https://shopee.com.my/-Ready-Stock-ASUS-RT-...7763.2663858875 I think both are actually 'US' refurbished from China based on the description of the Shopee one. I thought that was a brand new China set, but I was mistaken. Apparently, there are still sellers on Shopee with local ready stock claiming to be selling 'Brand New' units for ~RM800, for example this one: https://shopee.com.my/-Ready-Stock-ASUS-RT-...7763.2663858875 And this one: https://shopee.com.my/-Ready-Stock-ASUS-RT-...7763.2663858875 Anyway, I just picked up an MY set this morning at All IT for RM1099. Peace of mind lah I guess. Don't wanna deal with shady stock that has an unknown origin. This post has been edited by IntensiveBytes: Feb 23 2020, 01:50 PM |
