Tried Smart Connect Option - Now 2.4GHz Devices Won't Connect
I enabled the new Smart Connect feature on my R7000 and nothing would connect and get an IP address to either . I turned it off and reset my wireless settings to what they were before the change and...
Factory-reset and manually set-up fixed all of my problems. Even the 'Arlo' ghost went away.
Exact same problem after updating my R7000 yesterday. I think it has to do with the new Arlo camera support now built into the router (by pass secondary network/hub) if you have one.
I believe this because I disabled Arlo (only found on 'Basic' tab), which did not help, then turned off the 2.4 ghz band completely, and Arlo was STILL broadcasting on the 2.4 Ghz band- clearly doing more than it should.
All my 5 Ghz devices work fine.

Are you still using the latest version of the firmware?
