[Maylyn - Networking] ASUS RT-AC86U

[kenapa siol]

It wont be plug and play. at minimum, will still need to run the “setup wizard“ which would be step by step.

if it's your first time, 30mins - 1hr should be enough to get your network up and running using default firmware and basic settings.. most of the process is just click next next next..

Thanks for the replies

Regarding the China or local set, the same applies and it doesnt affect anything as in running the setup and click x 3? Paiseh paiseh....thanks

Not worth to buy China set. Pay a bit more go local set for the 3 years warranty. If you buy and got problem it’s gg. Nowadays router QC not say very good.

functionality wise.. both are identical.. just box and maybe the name of router different.. if I'm not wrong China is using the white box version but sg is the black box version..

but as kashix mentioned, it's better to pay about more for the 3 years warranty for something that is running almost 24/7..

This is a great deal at $255 after collecting the
shop voucher. Can further bring it down by $20 if you collected the $20 lazada voucher earlier.
