Solved Is the new firmware unable to set up the Smart Connect Rule?

[superflq]

Please ask if routers with firmware versions later than 3.0.0.6.102_35404 (including this version) cannot set the Advanced setting for Smart Connect (Smart Connect Rule)

I haven't seen the smart connect setting since I upgraded my router. Allegedly it's still accessible via the asus app. It's also possible to disable smart connect through ssh.

I want to enable the Smart Connect Rule because, originally set up as effective, it's very functional.

I must have missed what's going on here... is SC being forced now? Is the app the only way to configure using or not using it?

SC is indeed enabled by default.

RT-BE88U Main Wifi Smart Connect

I've heard and read that Smart Connect is enabled by default on the main wifi but I see there is no switch in the GUI. I'm not going to install the app on my phone just to disable a single feature. I know the setting is in nvram: smart_connect_selif=3 smart_connect_selif_x=3 smart_connect_x=1...

I used this app but couldn't find where to set Smart_Connect_Settings.

I did say allegedly. It came up in a conversation with another member - they were adamant they had the setting available.

As was indicated in my other post in another discussion which you replied to, it depends on the firmware version. See the following Asus Support document:

[Wireless Router] How to configure the Smart Connect in ASUS Router? | Official Support | ASUS Global

From that Asus Support link:

1. Some functions of wireless will be different due to firmware version.
Interface 1: Supports routers with firmware later than 3.0.0.6.102_35404 (including), please refer to here for the setting instructions.
Interface 2: Supports routers with firmware earlier than 3.0.0.6.102_35404, please refer to here for the setting instructions.
....
Note: The built-in WiFi network preferences settings on a mobile device may render the smart connect rule ineffective or lead to frequent disconnections.

See that Asus link. It explains how to configure Smart Connect based on which Interface one is using. Further it mentions Smart Connect Rule under Interface 2 directions. From that Interface 2 direction:

Interface 2: Supports routers with firmware earlier than 3.0.0.6.102_35404
...
C. Advanced setting for Smart Connect(Smart Connect Rule)
ASUS Router comes with a default trigger condition setting for the Smart Connect switching mechanism. However, depending on your networking environment, you may need to customize the trigger condition. To do this, navigate to the Smart Connect Rule page in Network Tools or simply click the Smart Connect Rule link in Wireless General.

Note: Some models do not support the advanced settings of Smart Connect. If you do not see [Smart Connect Rules] when activating Smart Connect, which means your model does not support it.

And more from that Asus Support link on Smart Connect Rule:

The Router APP do not support Advanced settings of Smart Connect (Smart connect rule ), which is only available in Web GUI.

The biggest problem is that the 5.8G Wi-Fi connection has poor performance and fails to automatically switch to the 2.4G network.

Interesting. I noticed the Android app only allows to turn the SmartConnect on or off. The 3.0.0.6.102_34349 firmware does allow the SmartConnect to be configured.
My guess it too many folks messed up the settings so Asus just went to on/off. Not a biggie for me...
