I think I will go with the AX86U Pro (over the regular version). The regular version seems to be more expensive (unsure why), but I don't need two USB 3 ports so I think the Pro is a better deal. Please let me know if I'm missing something

I didn't realize it reached end-of-life -- does that mean Asus is no longer providing security updates? If so, what is a reasonable Asus replacement that's a good balance of future proof/not nearing end-of-life that would go around 200 USD? Is it reasonable to then move the old AC86U to the...

Understood - I think I will hold off on purchase then as I'm not ready to commit to getting a completely new system (e.g., the Qualcomm alternatives), and since it doesn't sound like AiMesh is that great TY all for your help

Double checked everything and it looks like the AC68U to N66U ethernet connection was plugged in but loose... Thanks for the assistance

I have a primary device (ac86u) and a device I'd like to set up as the AP (n66u) I originally had the n66u flashed to a Merlin firmware, and it worked perfectly as an AP, but the update prompt kept bugging me so I finally updated to the latest stock firmware (52747). In retrospect, I probably...
