RAXE500 WiFi 6E SSID
Does Smart Connect include the 6E (6 Ghz) network if you use the same SSID for all networks? In other words, if you have Smart Connect enabled and are using a 6E compatible device, will it switch you...

For my environment, iPhone 15 Pro Max case.
With smart connect on and setting 6GHz SSID same with them (This is same with Apple official instructions.), then 6E worked on my iPhone.
Just for sure enabling security WPA2+WPA3 for 2.4/5Ghz.
I hope this helps someone.

You're saying that on your router WiFi6 and Wifi6E have the same SSID? If so I thought you couldn't do that.
On mine they have 2 separate SSID's. My Pixel 7 Pro has both programmed into it's database and usually picks the one with the best signal. Almost always it's Wifi6 for reasons we all know. When it does auto-select 6E I honestly don't any speed improvements.

iOS says automatically select 6E.
But I think this chooses 6E mainly.
My post just same SSID and automatic selection was available on iOS. I couldn’t know about optimal network selection for speed. Sorry.
