Q: QuestionI'm not tech savvy at all, but I'm wondering if I can connect two of these routers together as an AI-mesh network, to get more coverage?

Asked 2 years ago by NellysMom.

• A:Answer Yes, by following the directions in the box and with downloading and using the ASUS app, it's simple and easy to do. I recently bought this router to combine and AI-Mesh together with my ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro that I purchased a while back. It's prefered to connect the to router together via an ethernet cord, but you can do it wirelessly, too, which is what I did and still am doing. For me, the two routers work together seamlessly and I have been able to extend and boost the wifj in my house!

Q: QuestionThe description says the model number is RT-AX86U Pro. But the image (the one shown the back of the router) shows RT-AX86U and 2 x USB 3 ports (I believe RT-AX86U Pro has 1 USB 3 and 1 USB 2 ports). So I wonder whether this is RT-AX86U or RT-AX86U Pro?
