Is this setting useful? From Asus:

"Wi-Fi Alliance released Wi-Fi Agile Multiband for better Wi-Fi coverage and improved connection speed. Different from the roaming features provided by router companies, Wi-Fi Agile Multiband has much better compatibility for IoT devices.

This feature makes good use of network resources, balances bandwidth over loading, and rearranges clients to uncrowded bands."

Does this mean a device, such as my phone might be moved from 5GZ to 2.4?

I am manually assigning my devices based on use, so I don't want the devices switching between the 3 wifi interfaces.

I think for all wifi 6 devices it might be good, but for some legacy iot devices, might be compatibility issue.

Almost 3 years later is this a good setting to enable? Maybe just certain bands? I notice it appears disabled by default on all bands on the AXE16000.

Tried it, mixed system:

ASUS AXE16000, AXE11000, RT-AX86U, RT-AC68U, RP-AX58, and RP-AX56

Didn’t notice significant redistribution of devices/IoTs.

But I’m also running:

TP-Link RE815XE and RE605X which combined are connected to 11 out 51 devices.

Turned all bands off concerned it affected 6E connection…
