While this technology has its benefits, different devices at home have different reaction and response to changes in signal strength and quality, and it's almost impossible to predict if they will make good band choices due to the interaction between the devices and the Wifi router. Some smart home devices also recommend that band steering is not used due to various reasons such as needing a constant consistent connection, ability to only connect to a particular band, registration of the respective MAC address, etc..
Example:
As single SSID is used, the device may remain on a weak 5GHz network instead of switching over to stronger 2.4GHz network.
You require at least two devices to form a Mesh WiFi network which are Astro Fibre WiFi router and a Mesh WiFi unit.
The Mesh unit will link to the WiFi router to form the Mesh WiFi network. You may connect up to 5 Mesh WiFi units for optimal WiFi coverage in your home.
Astro Fibre WiFi router is a dual-band edge Residential Gateway which supports two frequency bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
