How to backup config file on secondary AiMeshed router (stock f/w)?

Quick question: How can I save the settings config file for an AiMeshed node router (AX3000) on stock firmware?

Setup: AX86U Pro is primary to cable modem, with an AX3000 AiMeshed to it over WiFi.

I'm not seeing an option anywhere to do this for the meshed AX3000 (nothing in the Admin nor AiMesh sections in the AX86U's web GUI). Already tried entering the separate IP address for the AX3000 to login directly over WiFi via browser, but it auto-redirects to the AX86U Pro login.

It's clear that ASUS wants the primary router to manage the meshed nodes, so not sure this is even possible while meshed on stock.

I've already backed up AX86U config, that's easy. Haven't yet tried ethernetting directly into the AX3000 for this specifically, but as I recall from a prior effort, doing that gave me a far smaller set of options in the GUI.
 
Wireless AiMesh "node" is not a router. It's a repeater and there is nothing to save from its configuration.
 
The AiMesh node gets its configuration from the router. So, when you save the config for the router do not have any nodes set up. If you have to reset the router and recover from a saved settings file you can manually reset the node then add it back in the mesh. The few settings you can configure on a node (Samba, iTunes and media server) are a snap.
Really, it is that simple!
