Just upgraded from the AC88U to the AXE16000 and loving the speeds!
During setup I chose to separate the bands and gave all of them the same SSID/password except the 5GHz-2, which I dedicated as a separate VR band (for Oculus AirLink).
I noticed that Smart Connect was off in the wireless settings, but my phone was still able to switch from the 2.4GHz band to the 5GHz band as needed.
Two questions arise from this:

Two questions arise from this:
- What exactly does Smart Connect do?
- Is it fine to keep all but a single band (5GHz-2 in this case) the same name/password?
- I noticed during the Quick Internet Setup if I chose to not separate the bands, it still guided me to give the 6GHz band a separate name/password.
