Extending WiFi with separate Router SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz?
My router has separate SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Can this Range Extender handle these separate SSID or will it only work on 1 SSID which covers both 2.4GHz and 5 GHZ together?

It's a dual band extender so it should extend both. I'm pretty sure that by default it will create seperate SSIDs. I am pretty sure you can get them to share the same SSID, but it isn't listed here:
