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
