Enable or Disable Smart Connect
Smart Connect selects the fastest WiFi band for your device. For Smart Connect to work, the 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz bands must use the same WiFi network name (SSID) and network key (password).
That means that when you connect to the router with WiFi, you see only one SSID that connects
to both bands.
Note: If you enable Smart Connect and the SSID and passwords for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands do not match, the WiFi settings for 2.4 GHz band overwrites the WiFi settings for 5 GHz
band.
To enable or disable Smart Connect:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router
network.
2.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
3.
Select Wireless.
The Wireless Setup page displays.
4.
Select or clear the Enable Smart Connect check box.
Selecting this check box turns on Smart Connect and clearing this check box turns off Smart
Connect.
5.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
