    Dual band smart connect with 5ghz only

    Thanks for your reply. Overall area is 2,700 ft². The router and node (XT8s) are separated at a distance of about 30 ft straight line but there are 3 walls and 1 floor in between them. I'm using Ethernet backhaul. I already have my stationary devices bound to either the router or the node...

    Why can't I get AiMesh to work (roam) correctly?

    Why can't I get AiMesh to work (roam) correctly?

    So I think I've given up on smart connect. One of the main reasons I wanted to use it, was for a fallback if any of my devices on 5-2 got bumped because of a DFS event. However, after doing some research, it doesn't really seem like 160 megahertz is really any better than 80 megahertz...

    Dual band smart connect with 5ghz only

    Also, once a device roams to a node, how does it know to roam back to the main router once you're closer to it? After my devices roam to the node, they never seem to want to roam back to the main router, and I don't have these devices on the roaming block list and they are not bound to the node...

    Dual band smart connect with 5ghz only

    Thanks again! One last question, if I select AC only for STA for 5-1, then non-AC STAs should not be steered to 5-2, correct? Am I thinking of that correctly? Just wondering because I have an N device that is getting steered. Thanks!

    Dual band smart connect with 5ghz only

    Thanks again for your help. I'm attaching a new screenshot. It seems to be working very well for what I need. Not all devices seem to be affected by the steering of smart connect. But the ones I were hoping would be affected are getting steered, such as smartphones. I tried to turn off the...

    Dual band smart connect with 5ghz only

    Ok. I think I get it. So, for 60% on 5ghz-2, I would be allowing up to 60%, which leaves 40% for 5ghz-1? So I would want to set it high to allow as much as possible, but setting it to zero actually turns it off, which is like setting it to 100%. Is that correct? Thanks.

    Smart Connect steering towards 5Ghz

    Thank you! I will give this a try. I'm not sure I understand it yet, especially since it seems to be working with my current settings. But hopefully it will work better with your suggestions.

    Dual band smart connect with 5ghz only

    I'm trying to steer most devices to high band 5ghz-2 from 5ghz-1. I'm using dual band smart connect with 5ghz only (5ghz-1 & 5ghz-2) and not with 2.4ghz. The default settings weren't working for me. But after a lot of guess and check, these settings seem to be working (screenshot). But I don't...

    Smart Connect steering towards 5Ghz

    Thank you for the screenshot! I tried with the signal settings and couldn't get it to work well. Strangely though, with the settings in my screenshot and the Roaming Assistant settings set to -65, my devices now seem to be mostly sticking to 5ghz-2 (which is what I want) and seem to switch...

    Smart Connect steering towards 5Ghz

    I realize this is an old post, but it's one of the best I could find related to my question. I'm currently trying out using 5 GHz smart connect, with AI mesh, with two XT8's, one router and one node. I really want to use the 5ghz-2 band as much as possible, but I would like to have the 5ghz-1...
