I recently bought 2 Dlink DIR-2660 routers and they support Smart mesh technology. I contacted Dlink and turns out that these routers do support mesh systems but only with their extenders, as in it is not possible to make a mesh system between two routers. I do not believe this to be true so...

Hi I have a TP-Link Ax5400 (Ax73) and my new provider has just given me a new Linksys WHW03CFv2. They are both quite new and capable routers and I was hoping to use the Linksys as my main, and the TP-Link as a mesh to expand the reach. (Or the other way around) Is this possible, or is there...
