smart connect

Hi everyone, I’m running a dual-node ASUS ZenWiFi BT10 AiMesh system with Ethernet (wired) backhaul. By default the firmware ships with: Smart Connect: ON (single SSID across 2.4/5/6 GHz) Roaming Assistant: ON (RSSI-based disconnect threshold) Wi-Fi Agile Multiband: OFF MLO: ON, but Fronthaul...

How do I disable smart connect on RT-BE86U? Having trouble to get my Nedis Smartlife smoke detectors to connect to the new network... Contacted Nedis Technical support and got a reply that Asus routers have had a problem as smart connect tries to force to 5GHz and then dropping as doesn't...

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...

Hello, I would like to ask if someone know what is the difference between sus RT-AX53U and Asus RT-AX1800U models? Because there is a slight price difference between these models. I already asked asus, but didn't get a proper answer. They just sent me link of both models "tech spec". Only...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello, Im a new user of a Asus RT-AC1900U and tried to install it today with the RT-AC68U_384.13_0 merlin firmware and then i couldnt find the place where i can change to something that asus call "Smart Connect", i found this text from a webpage "Smart Connect is the feature which could...

The R7960P is now listed on Netgear's website. I was a beta tester for this router. https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R7960P.aspx https://www.netgear.com/support/product/R7960P.aspx This is a Costco exclusive, and is available for sale on their website right now...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...
