This has nothing to do with not knowing how to connect IoT or other devices rather it's about ENSURING my devices connect to the bands I want them to. Another reason I decided to go with Asus was the ability to adjust settings such as LED light, force a device to bind to one device, and the app actually works even with the system in Access Point mode.
