Hi, I explain my case. I am in a place where the wifi is controlled by admin and the number of device max is 2. I buy a dir859 install ddwrt and I try to configure it the way I could connect more than 2 device in 2.4g. The wifi here is 5g. The goal is to connect my google home kit so I need more than 2 connection. Is there a way that my router connect to the admin router using my wireless password and share the connection to my router on 5g. After my router will manage all other connection by is own on 2.4g with is own ssid and password?
Thank you

I would suggest using client mode to connect to the admin router and then creating a Virtual AP on the 2.4GHz network to share the connection. The 5GHz network can be a simple Access Point.

See this link for more info: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linking_Routers
