Yes was thinking the same so I set up as default then went to configure wifi as two separate SSID's. That's where I'm having the issue. As soon as I try to disable Smart Connect and set up separate SSID's, the router stops working. No wifi, no Ethernet port access to internet. I have the same firmware version 1.0.1.50. Was working before. Now noticing a lag in wifi speed. Could router be on its last leg? I do have a warranty plan on it now.
