Unfortunately, no firmware is compatible with my Asus DSL-AC52U.

There are no alternative firmwares for any DSL routers from ASUS. What you should do is buy a regular router and plug it into the box supplied by your ISP. You also disable WiFi on ISP box.

The ASUS router is currently my only device.

I understand, it's just a tip for the future if you ever decide to upgrade.
