    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    I have an RT-AX86 pro and dont see the guest network pro features? I'm running Merlin's latest version 3004.388.6, I also have a mesh node RT-AX86 running the same version of Merlin's firmware.

    Can I use a 4TB ext4 drive on an RT-AC86U as NAS?

    I used that video to get my RPi NAS up and running and agree, in addition to the video you do need to search the web. The performance is outstanding and I'm able to stream videos without and problem .

    Can I use a 4TB ext4 drive on an RT-AC86U as NAS?

    The router's CPU and memory weren't designed to be a NAS, you won't be happy. If you have a Raspberry PI laying around try this instead. how to build a Raspberry Pi NAS (it’s AWESOME!!) - YouTube

    Devices connecting to wrong AiMesh-enabled router/node

    I don't know that much about your physical layout, but having two mesh routers 25-30 feet apart could be the problem, overlapping wifi bands causing your clients to connect to any of the routers. I would think you could get be with one router or move the second router to a further location.
