The way i understand is that if you want more devices to be on 5hg even if you go to kitchen and upstairs etc. then you have to increase the values see the attached screenshot. These values work spot on for me. which means everywhere in the house I get 5hgz and all my devices stick to 5hgz, if i go to back garden then my mobile or ipad automatically switches to 2.4ghz. Which is what i want!
So the way it works (as i understand) when rssi becomes greater than -75 i.e. any value between 0 and -74, it will switch to 5ghz, that is what I want. Because for my setup, i get very good speed even at -74.
And for the other, i understand is that any value less that -85 i.e. -86 -87... it will switch to 2.4ghz.
Does zoom freeze if you switch to 2.4ghz? if not, then this tells that you are not getting a good date rate on 5hgz and should be on 2.4 ghz that far in the detached garage. In that scenario, you have 2 options: either connect that device to 2ghz guest network permanently or change the threshold for your rssi values so when bring that device to inside the living room, it would switch to 5ghz. This is how to do:
Go to the garage and go to the far end, open your asus router app on mobile phone, then find the connected device i.e. your phone or tablet or laptop etc. which you are using in that room, press on it and see the connection quality number at the bottom it should say -xxdbm. note that value. lets say -80dbm in our case
Now open smart connect page on router. In the 5hz column, try a value of -78. This means if a signal is less that -78 i.e. -79, -80 .... then the device should switch to 2.4 ghz automatically. But then restart the router and wait about 5 mins for devices to adjust.
Apologies if something doesn't work. This is me speaking from my inexperienced mind!
