I'm sure this is a simple question for many you. I'm wanting to use an Asus wireless router to host a USB drive for nightly backups. The Asus router would be connected to my LAN only through its WiFi system. I got that basically working with an Asus RT-N66R which I purchased used. However, I quickly ran into the problem of Windows not liking the SMB1 version of this old router. So I'm trying to figure out how to know which Asus routers have at least SMB2 in them, and preferably something even newer than that. It doesn't need to be a high end, high dollar router for my purposes. The nightly backups typically are small, so high throughput is not a requirement. I've seen on the Asus website that one can't assume that even all of their lowest cost routers will give me what I need. For instance, the spec sheet on the RT-AX1800S doesn't show any USB ports at all, and says "Samba Server: No".
Any suggestions on a modest Asus router which will support my needs, or an easy way to filter router selection on the Asus site to find what I'm looking for?
Thank you all in advance,
