Model: Archer AX11000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 20220221 rel.50072(5553)

I am using Smart-Connect with my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels with my AX11000 but I've found some dead areas around my property. So, I want to use a generic dual-band Wifi extender (Linksys RE6400) which can detect both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels. Right now, I just enabled the extender with the 2.4Ghz channel and it works fine.

 

Does anyone know if I can enable both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels on a range extender, if the AX11000 is using Smart-Connect, or will it mess up? I suppose I can try it out and report back here, but I was hoping there was a well-known answer. I've done a bunch of googling and checking this forum, but found nothing definative.
