SSID naming

I am curious if there is a reaason not to name the SSID the same on both bands. Are there benifits and or drawbacks for doing this?

Hi,

Can’t tell for sure, but I guess that this might come in handy in places that are overcrowded with other wireless networks. 

If you name you’re 2 channels differently, you can make sure to connect to the best one in those circumstances… leaving the other active to be sure to be able to connect older “legacy” devices. 

At least, that’s what I did and improvements on the 5ghz line have been astonishing :slight_smile:
