Just curious if there is a definitive answer to this, or does it depend on the environment? Right now, my specific situation is that I’m configuring a new home router for my Mother, so the less complexity the better. I’m tempted to use
a single SSID for both bands, and then just set the wireless properties on her laptop to prefer the 5.8GHZ band. I guess the disadvantage to this route is that I can’t be sure she’s actually connecting on the 5.8GHZ frequency? Are there any other reasons
for going one way verses the other? There doesn’t seem to actually be a correct way to do this, Googling just turns up about a 50 50 split of opinion.
Thanks,
Al
