How to think about room correction settings like frequency range and gain?

Unfortunately that didn't help much, RC algorithm made some unfortunate decisions when calculating the filters.
Perhaps try to change Max Gain to 6dB and re-run RC. If that doesn't help then I guess you'd either have to accept the response dip or try alternative subwoofer positions.
a safe and qualitative peq mode (see enriched when possible with some bands) and a possible export in rew format of the raw data of the chirp "wiim" would be a priority...
 
For those on iPhones, etc., the comparison with HouseCurve must be interesting... even useful... (the original person of housecurve chat on ASR)

I forgot to take a screenshot of the previous screen. Is it possible to do the same from this one?

From these screens I can't say for sure whether or not the dip was resolved.

But more importantly, are you happy with how it sounds after correction?

No, because it reduced the bass.

I will probably use wiim without room correction.

If you would like more bass you could also try the "Harman" target curve instead of the "B&K" curve in RC settings.
Note that you might need to increase subwoofer level further for this target to work well.
 
Another pragmatic approach - this i how I am dealing with these issues - is manually correcting what RC doesn’t do correctly. So why not simply either:
A) decrease the bass less (I see e.g. -7.7 dB in your chart) or
B) Fill the gap at 60Hz by increasing bass there e.g. with a Q factor of 5.

Both you need to do with PEQ…
You might need to get into the topic by trial and error…
