Nighthawk X6S vs X6 - Smart connect

So, the new Nighthawk X6S which will be released later this week, is gonna support Smart connect for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands unlike the X6 where it works only for the two 5 GHz bands. 

Is Netgear gonna make this new Smart connect feature available for older X6 through a firmware release or is this feature exclusive for the X6S?

 

Thanks 👍

Hi R9,

 

Thank you for the feedback and suggestion. We are looking for implementing this feature across more products but there is no ETA as to when it will be available.

Does the smart connect really works.As far as i seen is ad shows it switch the high bandwidth devices to another 2ndary band. But there is no real time example that showcase the feature actually works
