You still can use your merlin ASUS router (assuming it is of the wireless variety) as an Access Point to feed your wireless devices.
I went full TP-Link Omada on the hardware with 8-port 2.5Gbe PoE switch, another 24-port 1Gbe switch, 3 in-ceiling APs, and 13 Cat6 drops for TVs, office and gaming computers, and PoE cameras. So my Asus hardware isn't needed - it will collect dust for the foreseeable future.
