Does the AX86U support hardware encryption like the AC86U?

Hi Everyone,

I currently have a 86U and 68U configured as a mesh. The 86U is my router and is also set up as a VPN client. I went with the 86U because of the hardware encryption. I want to add a AX86U as the primary router in the mesh. However, I am seeing conflicting information as to whether the AX86U actually supports hardware-based encryption. If it does not, is there any other newer Merlin supported router that does support hardware-based encryption?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
