Set up a robust Wi-Fi network using just one connection.
To create a powerful Wi-Fi network with just one connection, you need to optimize your setup so that only one strong band is available. This means ensuring your router is placed centrally, using a solid Wi-Fi signal source, and possibly switching to a higher frequency band if supported. Avoid interference from other devices and keep the router away from walls or obstructions. If you're not experienced, consider using a mesh system or a dedicated mesh router to simplify the process.

Typically, most routers employ an automatic setup for the correct channel. There are just two frequency bands—2.4 GHz and 5 GHz—which each have distinct properties. However, some premium routers let you create one SSID for both bands, letting clients choose which one to connect to. A brief online search revealed that this question isn’t new for Asus devices: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1012132/
Could this be a test using devices that don't support 5GHz? Otherwise, the only option is installing open-wrt and attempting to make it function.
