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.
Lol, it’s was just a joke one-liner.
(And in that I meant all intelligence, human included.)
And yes, can confirm that what you say it’s true.
Also that 802.11ac is in fact around more than 10 years, fuck.
And, just as a coincidence, in an apartment I do have separate SSIDs for 2 and 5 (several actually, but thats not important right now) since the 5 & 6 devices have always good coverage in that fairly smol place, and the 2GHz is just for some IOTs I manage separately in a lot of ways.
I mainly run 2.4 GHz for IoT too. Everyone around here (urban environment) has their ISP router blasting 2.4 GHz to the moon so it’s just garbage. I set the minimum RSSI on it pretty low to get my phone off the network while I’m walking to my car.

🤣 Yeah I’m an idiot.
