Should we turn on Asus smart connect?
Noticed my devices only showed connection to 2.4Ghz and not 5Ghz even i am sitting just in front of the router.

QUOTE(peguin78 @ Oct 13 2018, 08:02 AM) Based on my experience, devices connect to 2.4 first only then they will connect to 5 if they are supported. I don't really like the smart connect feature as i don't have control to which ssid a device connects to. The problem is my 5Ghz channel is no longer available on my WiFi list including my gadgets that support 5Ghz. Just wonder am I no longer enjoying 5Ghz speed under the so call smart connect 🧐🧐 |

QUOTE(Ebony & Ivory @ Oct 15 2018, 06:01 PM) ur 5GHz and 2.4GHz is having the same ssid? Guys, sorry it was my mistake.try update to latest firmware, it fix some WIFI stability issue. or u can just flash to merlin. Did some research on Asus website. I mistakenly include 2.4Ghz in my SSID When I set the smart connect function I.e XXXX_2.4Ghz. I should just name it XXXX without the 2.4Ghz as the router will automatically connect my gadget to the most apropriate (fastest n stable) connection (I.e 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz). As on my experience with the smart connect function - so far so good. No complain. Connection is stable. Speed is within expectation. |

If I want to add a AiMesh node to my AC86U, which is a better choice between Asus AX56U or single unit Lyra?
