    Asus Smart Connect switch dont work

    I bought a modern Asus router (dx6) with last update. What could be the problem that Smart Connect doesn't switch from 2.4 to 5 GHz? My phone supports it, and with a router from another brand with mix-connect, it works fine. I am attaching screenshoot the Smart Connect rules and settings, they...

    RT-AX86U Pro, Smart Connect, Pin Device to Band.

    I have a AX86U Pro configured with Smart Connect, is it possible to pin certain devices to specific bands (5G, 2.4G) to stop them potentially being shunted between the two, or is the only way to turn off Smart Connect and configure each band individually? Thanks in advance.

    Aimesh ax88u smart connect problem

    i just discovered that my node which is the same router does not switch me to 2.4 ghz when i'm far away. I have tested with the main router and it does switch me but when i'm connected to the aimesh node it stays on 5ghz which is annoying and limits my range a lot.

    BUG in Smart Connect Rule page - 386.8 GT-AXE16000

    Hello, I have enabled Smart Connect but only for the two 5Ghz bands. When opening the Smart Connect Rule page, the last section named "Interface Select and Quality Procedures" is empty and I immediately get a JS error in the console (without doing any action): When trying to change some...

    RT-AX89X and Smart Connect

    So I've been trying out Smart Connect on my RT-AX89X. Unfortunately, a lot of the settings are not configurable when Smart Connect is on. For example, I would like to be able to choose channels manually and limit the 2.4 band to 20 MHz, among other changes. (I think this may apply to other...

    AiMesh or not to AiMesh

    I am rebuilding wifi setup, so currently I have rt-ax86U as router, and can use my old router as AP (rt-ac68u). Unfortunately alone rt-ax86u is not enough - it does not cover whole house and I am limited with moving it to more central place. I have long good quality ethernet cable between...

    RT-AC87U - missing smart connect

    Hello, I'm new on this forum and recently bought RT-AC87U. It's perfect to me, except for missing "smart connect" function, which I was used with former TpLink router (I would like to use effectively the same SSID for 2.4 GHz and also 5GHz) . Is there any chance that Asus firmware (maybe...

    I just moved from 2 AC86Us running separately (Top floor & Basement, nothing in middle floor) with same SSIDs, ethernet connected... SmartConnect settings were default and was running fine 80% of the time. The remaining 20% of the time, cams (I have 10) would disconnect and often never...

    How to disable "Smart Connect" on AC5300 - Merlin 384.13

    When I first installed my AC5300 I was enamored with Smart Connect, now, not so much. I've decided to disable SC and return to the more (my opinion) reliable "do it yourself" option. My question is finding the best way to accomplish this without starting from scratch. Any step by step advice...

    AC-5300 - No routing between 5G-1 and 5G-2

    Hi all It seems that devices on 5G-1 and 5G-2 cannot "see" each other. On Wireshark it seems some packets can't traverse from one 5G band to the other. Has anyone encountered this issue or got a fix? I suspect the same issue exists on other dual 5GHz routers too.

    RT-AC86U Problems with Smart Connect

    So it seems like there is a problem with my Smart connect feature on my RT-AC86U. Every time I enable it, all of my devices are connected to 2.4GHz. Even if I disable it and try to get into the 5GHz channel, it doesn't let me in. I have found a fix to it by changing the Control Channel from Auto...

    No "Smart Connect" on the NETGEAR R7800.

    Hi, I've been working on my home network after my old R7000 died and could not be resurrected. In another thread here I've been advised to step up my game and get a R7800 which is more likely to utilize my gigabit connection through my NETGEAR CM1000 modem. I have ordered a R7800 so I can test...

    [Request] SMART-CONNECT - Allow to manually change Control Channels

    Hi, I'm one of those people who like to tinker everything to see how it works, especially with new technologies and features. In my time playing with the ASUSWRT I encountered the promising SMART-CONNECT feature, a really nice feature that uses only one access point for all the bands, and moves...

    Aimesh and smart connect work together?

    Can anyone with aimesh setup already help me out? I'm looking for a second router to setup mesh. Does it mesh just 2.4 or 5ghz or does it mesh both? Does a ac1900 works with ac88u smart connect feature?

    ASUS Hidden Smart Connect Settings Decoded

    I'm not sure if anyone here is still interested in or uses ASUS' Smart Connect feature on their newer dual and tri band routers. If so, I've found all of the hidden settings for this feature (settings not accessible in the GUI) and, for the most part, have figured out how to 100% customize it...

    I got Smart Connect (Tri Band) working on all my devices by resetting the SSID = changed SSID to another value and then changed it back on the screen where you can enable or disable Smart Connect. I also made sure 2.4 GHz was selected in the dropdown before selecting the 'button' to enable Smart...
