How to make a strong wifi network with only one connection

[BioFlash]

How do you make a very strong wifi network that uses only one connection so say like when I connect to it I do not have 3 different bands to choose from instead I only have one strong one to connect to.  Btw I am no professional in networking and this is also because I am sick of having to do trial and error and try and find the best band for each device why can't it be simple and there be one!

I have an Asus RT-AC5300 and it has a smart connect feature but it always drops out from my devices

Most routers use a auto configuration for the right channel. And there are only 2 band (the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) those band have different characteristics. but some more high end routers will allow you to have 1 SSID for both bands and have the client decide which one to use.
A quick google search seemed to indicate you are not the first one to ask this for the asus routers:

Could it be you are testing it with devices that are not 5GHz compatible?
Else that's your only solution besides installed open-wrt on it and trying to get it working with that.

The devices I used to test were a google pixel 2 xl, multiple iPhone 7's, google home, playstrations, xbox's and any device that can use the wifi both 5ghz and 2.4ghz and it seemed to drop out

 

How does open-wrt work?
