Nighthawk MR60 MESH NETWORK
How do I separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs on my Nighthawk Tri-bank Mesh WiFi 6 product? Do I need to upgrade to MR80 or MS80 product?
Thanks. That's what I understood after reading the "Can I create separate 2.4........article. Already ordered the upgrade.
Reason: "You can connect slower or older devices to the 2.4GHz band. Since these devices don’t need a lot of bandwidth, the speed and performance of your 5GHz band is reserved for your high-speed devices." Some or our Smart devices would not connect to the MR60 product.

Its only the 80 series that allows it to seperate.
Is there a reason you want them seperated?

You should still be able to connect your Iot 2.4ghz devices to the mr60.
It can sometimes be a bit more of a challenge as many IoT device makers are lazy and code poorly but it can be done.
