It's not convenience to have two standalone devices...
To find a third-party firmware for routers with Qualcomm's solution is o diffiult..
Keeping using the old RT-N56U maybe the best way for me..
I have not a wired internet access can be insert the WAN port, but a wifi instead.
I have used a RT-N56U router with padavan firmware for a long time before. It has a bridge mode named "AP-client+AP" to access the wifi as WAN port.
I just get a RT-AC86U with merlin firmware version 386.3.
How...
