Please run them on the same SSID with the same password and encryption scheme. I don’t want to manage switching between the two and would rather have my devices choose the band intelligently.
Huh? Software can’t better determine which to connect to automatically?
I’ve had a dual-band setup for more than 10 years now and have never manually selected 2G or 5G, but I’ve stayed in places that have this setup and it causes much more chaos when you’re walking around. Instead of switching to the strong band devices will try to hang on to the shitty connection that you told it to. You could set a minimum RSSI to get around it, but with both bands on the same network band steering will maximize performance pretty damn well.
It’s really beyond me why anyone would want entirely separate networks for each band.

Intelligence is an illusion.
