Enable or disable Smart Connect
The Smart Connect feature selects the fastest WiFi band for your WiFi devices to connect
to. To enable Smart Connect, your extender's 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz networks must use
the same network name and password.
Note: If you enabled the One WiFi Name feature and your router's 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
networks use different network names, you cannot enable Smart Connect. You can only
enable Smart Connect if your extender's 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi networks use the same
network name.
