Hi, I have found RT-AC86U stock firmware cannot install entware, there was opt folder exist.
So no other ways to install entware except change to merlin firmware?
 

I'm with the latest Merlin but I have this issue with the installation "entware-setup.sh"

Do what the error message is telling you. Insert a USB disk and create at least 1 partition that is formatted as ext2, ext3 or ext4. There is a utility called amtm here that has a "format disk" option that will do that for you.
