Good to hear. I'm hoping mine is designed for EU region since it apparently comes with a AUSSIE, EU and UK plug.

I got mine on Monday from the same company it does indeed come with all three plugs, the power adapter is 19v 3.42A. I'm running RMerlin's alpha firmware and all seems good with BT Infinity. All my devices have connected fine . Mine came in at £246 delivered including £45 customs/duty charge.

Great to hear. Mine is in the Midlands at the moment so hopefully delivered Tomorrow but since the estimated delivery says Tuesday might not be until then.

Damn it... Does it mean I was better off to wait for EU version of the router? Possible that European devices may not even see 5 ghz ssid?

I have an American version of ac88u incoming in a couple of days to Ireland...

5Ghz channel 36, 40, 44, 48 is available in most regions that I know about. If you buy a router from another region like I did and want to stay legal in your area and want to be able to connect all your devices - set the 5Ghz channel to any of these channels in the Wireless settings not Auto. This would apply for the 2.4Ghz as well because some regions don't have channel 12-14 so set the channel to 1-11 in Wireless settings not Auto.

A question to the specialists on this forum ..... when doing a crash recovery don't you reinstall everything including the bootloader ? If that is the case I could use a CD from my own region and get the correct region coding or is there different hardware for different regions?

The bootloader is not touched by a firmware flash. The bootloader is your safety net in case of a failed flash - it what allows you to recover.

So there is no way to replace the bootloader ?

Not on the RT-AC3100, no.

I usually like Merlins build so might give it a shot as well, also had no problems with the stock FW just FYI.
