I have this router on the first floor. On the second floor, however, I have hardly any reception or only very weak reception. Is a repeater worthwhile here or would I have to buy a second red one? In any case, I want there to be only 1 wifi.
Hello - You can take a second router and configure it with the same WiFi data (SSID, password, DHCP range of one router from IP 2-150, RAnge of the second from 151-254) - or you can take a repeater (preferably one from Asus).
The best solution for weak WLAN reception is to use a WiFi mesh system, which is available from various manufacturers. Repeaters are outdated technology and do not bring much. The AX3000 from Xiaomi, for example, would be a very good WiFi mesh system and supports up to 256 devices.

I would replace the Asus router with it, the Xiaomi set can also do WiFi 6 and each router in the set also has a built-in 3 port Gbit switch.
