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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
