Part of my house gets little to no wi-fi and I want to get that covered properly. So, I have an Asus AX-86U router and was thinking about getting a newer BE one and making the old one the AP/mesh/whatever. I'm going to run a cable to the bad part of the house and I also want to be able to use the old router like a switch (it'll be by the TV and consoles). What's the best way to set that up?

I've done that in the past with repeater mode but I'm not sure if that's standard or if it just worked that way on my old router.
