2) Install Merlin on it
3) Make sure you have different SSID names for each band 2.4ghz and 5ghz (ie. don't merge them)
4) Put all your IoT devices on the 2.4ghz (thermostat, switches..etc..), and reserve 5ghz for your high bandwidth devices (door bell, cell phones, TV...etc...)
5) Optionally, set it to reboot everyday when everybody is asleep.
6) ...
7) Profits!
That's all there is to it. Don't over think it.
Great router sound and true

AX86U is a great solid router!
I run merlin on this with 4 additional Zenfi mesh points
It works seemless together, and allows you to manage via IP / or app, You can also bind ip addresses to specific mesh points, unlike eero, which does some strange bindings that you have no control over.

I like the easy utility of the Guest Network Pro SDN, GUI based VLAN, separate DNS per network etc...
I like the free for life aI Protection, Trend Micro protection, Tow way IPS etc.
There are some missing functionality (like no time based BW throttling) but I think they will come with time.
Note: OpenWRT is pretty good and configurable, but I don't think it comes with native protection suit.
I tried TPLINK OMADA Router and AP, they are good but again no native protection suit.
Plus Asus supports its router for pretty long with FW updates.
For normal home use, nothing beats it as of now.
