Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router Smart Connect Smart Connect balances your 5 GHz WiFi connections into two different radio bands: the 5 GHz radio 1 band and the 5 GHz radio 2 band. The router uses Smart Connect to choose the best radio band for your device to give you the best WiFi performance. 2.4 GHz 600 Mbps Legacy devices Nighthawk X6 5 GHz WiFi band 1 300 Mbps Fast dual-band devices 5 GHz WiFi band 2 1300 Mbps Faster dual-band devices Same WiFi network name and password for both 5 GHz bands-only one visible 5 GHz band Figure 10. Smart Connect For Smart Connect to work, both 5 GHz radio bands must use the same wireless network name (SSID) and network key (password). That means that when you connect to the router with WiFi, you see only one 5 GHz SSID that connects to both 5 GHz radio bands. Note: If you enable Smart Connect and the SSID and passwords for both 5 GHz radio bands do not match, the WiFi settings for 5 GHz radio 1 overwrite the WiFi settings for 5 GHz radio 2. Enable or Disable Smart Connect To enable or disable Smart Connect: 1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network. 2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. A login screen displays. 3. Enter the router user name and password. Tri-Band WiFi Connections 59
