RT-AC86U and XT8 Nodes

New Around Here
Hi All

I hope everyone is well. Just wanted to ask for some advice. I've got some problems in the house with the RT-AC86U Wifi signal around the house due to some extensions in the house and I believe the builders may have used some steel plating in the walls.

Was thinking of getting a pair of ZenWifi XT8 to increase the range and strength of the Wifi. A couple of questions

1) Can i use the RT-AC86U as the main router and the two XT8's as nodes, either connected by wired or wireless backhaul?
2) I currently use a VPN and have it setup on the RT-AC86U but are the XT8's compatible with VPN setup if I remove the AC86U and JUST use the XT8's, router and node

Hope anyone can help with those questions :)
