I have smart connect on and many devices connected with WiFi
I now started to configure some IP Camera's and find out that these will not connect via WiFi. I am EVERY familar with the configurations so that is not the issue.
I suspect these cameras and smart connect are not compatible.
If I disable smart connect on the router to test my theory - does anyone KNOW if all the other already ok connections will still work, or will I have to visit each one and reconnect to the Wifi network again
At this point I wish smart connect was off my default.
The point of Smart Connect disabling is to have for 2.4 and 5 GHz SSIDs a different name.
When you disable Smart Connect your SSIDs (2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz) probably would change like:
for 2.4GHz "SSID_name"
for 5GHz "SSID_name-5G"
If you have devices connected to the 5GHz band they will disconnect when you click on the Save button.
You can name the SSIDs the same - "SSID_name", but this would make the Smart Connect disabling pointless.
Another thing you may consider is if the IP cameras are only 2.4 GHz capable to change the wireless mode like this and test:
