Without this, your devices won't be automatically switched away from the 2.4Ghz channel to the 5Ghz channel if they support it.<br /><br /> I'm not sure if you can accomplish smart-connect / Tri-band with two separate routers, I would suspect not.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41991.2&return_msg=41991.2" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41991.2"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41991_3"></a><div class="message" id="message_41991_3"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Serg (NUKKLEAR)<span class="message_time">21 Jul 2017 22:45</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Matt <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 23 Jul 2017 07:42"></span></span> <span class="message_count">3 of 3</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41991.3">41991.3</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41991.2#a41991_2" target="_self">41991.2</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I think Matt's right - you need an access point capable of managing its clients across the two bands.
