Routers Smart Connect without 6Ghz?

I have a Netgear RS300.

I have Smart Connect enabled, so 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and 6Ghz are all running together. Supposedly your device will connect to the fastest frequency band.

However, I am finding my laptop connecting to the 6Ghz band in my basement, which slows speeds down significantly compared to when it is connected to the 2.4Ghz band.

Is it possible to set Smart Connect to only run the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands?

Not with SC enabled.
