WAX206 sticky 2.4ghz
I have recently purchased a WAX206 AP Very disappointing device so far. The biggest issue with it is that my phone is constantly connecting to the 2.4ghz channel and is never redirected to 5ghz. B...
do all devices have issues or just this one?
Reason I ask is that its the phone itself that decides which band to roam to
Hi aposull ,
Enable or disable smart connect for the AP
Smart connect automatically selects the fastest WiFi band for a WiFi client device that
is connected to the AP. By default, smart connect is disabled. (During initial login, or
when you ran the Setup Wizard, you might have enabled smart connect.)
When smart connect is enabled, it applies to all WiFi networks on the AP. For each
individual WiFi network, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands use the same WiFi network name
(SSID) and network key (WiFi password). That means that when you connect to a WiFi
network on the AP, you see only one SSID, which connects to both bands of the WiFi
network.
Thanks,
