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 network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.

4. Select Wireless.

5. Select or clear the the Enable Smart Connect check box.
