Robotic vacuum cleaner in the Asus BT8 IoT system

[2301]

Current situation:
I have three Asus XT9 devices, one router and two nodes. The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is only enabled on the router as this can fully cover the RoboVac.
I don't have anything else connected to this band. As the XT9s do not have IoT functionality, thinking to replace the router with a BT8 and keep the two XT9s as nodes.
The question is:
When I create a separate IoT network on the BT8, how can I control the vacuum cleaner using an iPhone/iPad that exclusively connects to the 5 GHz band with a different SSID to the 2.4 GHz band?

They will be on the same network so no problem, it's not related to band (2.4GHhz/5Ghz) at all. Bands are only related to how the devices connect to that network.

Don't waste your time and money. Just connect the vacuum cleaner to the main network like perhaps 95% of people using it do.

They will be on the same network

No, IoT network on newer devices will be on a different subnet isolated from the main network. This is the purpose of it after all.
