Bought this router today to replace my Netgear D7800. I'm impressed with the GUI rich features, and ease of setting up functions.

Thank you for the explanation about ASUS's Smart Connect feature. Your video was tons more helpful than any write up (if any) that Asus ever came up with

[baelidays]

Watching your video just feels like it explained in a very simple way that anyone that can understand immediately.
Thanks! keep up the good work.

Thank you! This whole series has been of great interest for me and very-well produced by you in an entertaining and informative way. Just purchased this router and very pleased with it. Previous RT-AC68U now used in AiMesh very effectively.

Great video Behfor! When I first got my AX-58U I enabled Smart Connect, but ran into issues with my Brother wireless printer, it didn't like it. I may give it another shot now though since you helped me understand the rules a little better, thanks.

This is a great video! I’ve been searching for an explanation like this for some time. Thank you!

[BabyMayCry]

Thanks for helping me understand what the bounce was for. I turned bounce settings to 0. I really don't care how many times I'm passed between the 2 bands.

[Noldy]

Excellent video my friend! Keep up the great work!

Hmmm it is smarter to eneble the 2.4Ghz guest network for your smart devices and isolate them from the main network. It is much safer. It is a nice topic for a video too.

[TheGuyBehindTheGuy]

Been waiting for a good explanation about this.

I need to play with the signal strength. A weak 5Ghz signal seems to still be more than twice as fast as a good 2.4Ghz signal but then I lose connectivity on the 5Ghz for a second or two, just enough to mess with streaming.

[SilentShadW]

Awesome video now I know what all the smart connect settings actually do. thanks.

[Martin-otxj]

Hi there, it was a very useful tutorial video. keep it up

[datviet]

Thanks for the video, its great!.
Could you talk about other features/functions on the rt-ax86u why trendmicro collects privacy data when we use all these feature(airprotec, qos..etc) ?

[Farfulitis]

Terrific and clear explanations. What wifi analyzer app would you recommend?

[WhenNiceGuysRetaliate]

Outstanding video again.

Thanks for sharing.

It si only practical if the router has options to create rule for the smart connect like this router Asus you have. There are many routers in the market that don't have this option like Tp link and many Netgraer routers. In reality Smart Connect slows down the speed vs if you create sane name for your WiFi bands. Greate video though.

Hello and thank you for this guide. I have Asus ZenWifi xt8 tri-band, I am testing smart connection and I was kind a confused with the connection rules. Thanks to your explanation I have tunned rules with regard to the signal strenght for my devices in such a way that now its working as was my expectations so once again thank you for that. In my opinion I do not understand why default setting is like even if you have terrible signal on 5 GHz connect there instead od 2, 4 GHz. Makes no sense to me..

[ShawnTRD]

Can you lock some devices like Alexa speakers to 2.4 instead of 5?

Hi! Why did you skip Enable Load balancing option? Not good.

[treblepet]

I mean, the lighting is flawless. But where is my plant? :D
