5:56 Using Sonos WiFi speakers, I faced the same problem! Once again, huge thanks you for the calm, precise explanation in this video too, and for explaining in such detail the background of what is happening, the pros and cons, etc...

I mean...a lot of people don't HAVE wireless speakers set up all around the house with the desire to control any of them with one laptop.

I get your point but your title is a bit misleading, I have lights that automatically go to the 2.4Ghz band and I don't have any issues, as you said, if people ask whether they should use 2.4 or 5, they already have some basic knowledge on what that actually is and can modify it to their needs if they want to!

@iwishyouwould I think that's a great point. For low-bandwidth devices, utilizing WiFi Smart Connect won't have much of an impact. It's the devices that perform high-bandwidth operations that this may have more of an impact on. For those that are not tech savvy (and aren't interested in learning more about there home network), WiFi Smart Connect will most likely work just fine. They just might not be maximizing the performance of their network. Thanks for your feedback!

Can I use smart wifi with my Alexa speakers? I'm guessing it might be different than your speaker system since each device has direct access to router

What bastardly speakers are these? I guarantee you TCP/IP protocol does not care what you're using at the physical layer (of the 7-layer OSI model). It can't differentiate whether you're using 2.4Ghz wifi, 5Ghz wifi, copper-wired ethernet, fibre-optic ethernet, homeplugs which bridge ethernet over the power wiring though your house etc... the whole point of your modern consumer home "router/modem" is that it isn't really just a router, it's really also a bridge, switch & access-point all-in-one device which makes all those different mediums transparent to two IP devices on your 'network'. The only way you should be having trouble unless they're both on the same Wifi network, is : 1:) if the laptop has to talk to the speakers via direct wifi between said 2 devices instead of through your router wifi connection, in which case your laptop wouldn't be able to simultaneously connect to your router wifi or internet which is shitty. No playing spotify or youtube or netflix through your home speakers unless you plug in wired ethernet to connect to internet at same time? I don't think this is the case. 2:) if the software itself was doing some stupid additional check that both devices were working on the same frequency & connected to the same SSID wifi name. Here's the thing - If it's doing this stupid unnecessary check, it has to be doing it over a working IP link in the first place - whether that's being bridged between two different Wifi frequencies or not. So if it can do that over the IP link why can't it just send the audio stream over the very same IP link? If this is truly what's happening then that's an abomination. And that begs the question - what if your laptop is plugged in via copper ethernet (e.g. CAT5/6 cable) and not using Wifi at all? Do your speakers refuse to work in this case because they don't see the laptop on the same wifi? Ridiculous...the whole point of IP Protocol is so that it doesn't much care how two packets get delivered between two different IP nodes (your laptop, and your speaker), that's a lower layer problem which routers, bridges & switches (and access points) take care of using lower layer protocols (such as 802.11 Ethernet, and various physical medium encoding schemes which might be radio waves on various frequencies, electrical signals through copper wire, or pulses of light through fibre optic). The end devices just shouldn't care.

So we shouldn't use really smart functions (like ANY 2G - 5G cellular network ALREADY USES) just beacouse your wireless speakers are dumm???

I guess my argument is that the smart function isn’t as smart as advertised. For me personally, I would rather control what network my devices are connecting to so that they get the best performance

@@network-from-home lagacy (2g/3g) cellular network uses a bit better version of essentially the same thing. Modern (4g and 5g) cellular and modern WIFI (DBS - dual band simultaneous) use even better version of what legacy cellular uses. So, jump into DBS (or carrier aggregation from cellular side) bandwagon. Here device stays connected to ALL CURRENTLY AVAIABLE BANDS simultaneously. No more useless switching from one band to anouther.
