NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX1800 User Manual

Note: If smart connect is enabled 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 overwrite the WiFi settings
for the 5 GHz band.
If the smart connect feature is enabled, in addition to the SSID and network key, the
following WiFi settings apply to both radios simultaneously, which means that you cannot
configure these settings for each radio individually:
