EX8000 Configuration Settings

I have a Netgear x8 R8500 router and I’m interested in the configuration settings for the router and EX8000 extender. It’s not clear what the best settings are (Smart Connect, etc). Thanks

I don’t want to be a pest, but I had changed the router defaults previously. Do you know whether these should be checked or unchecked?

Thanks
