Smart connect
Re: Smart Connect Model:EX8000 Can you use one SSID for the 2.4 GHz, 5Ghz and 5GHZ-2 wireless network on the NightHawk X6S (AC3000) Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender?
Then enable the smart connect I have posted the need munual above in a earler post I believe under set up.
I see that this issue says solved but I don’t agree. Maybe it’s because it is not clear what the solver is saying. I have a similar question: I have an R8500 with all three bands set to the same SSID and with smart connect turned on for the two 5ghz bands. I also have an X4S extender with the same config. All three bands with the same ssid and smartconnect on. Is this the optimal configuration ? Should I turn smart connect off of both of them so there is a dedicated wireless signal between the extended and the router? And do I need to make that dedicate link with a separate ssid so the others don’t try and jump on it?
