      Ideally yes, once you got telnet access you supposelly get everything under control...

       

      Check commands below:

       

      iwconfig

       

      ath1 IEEE 802.11axg ESSID:"SOME_SSID"   ==>  "ath1" interface should boardcast 2.5G
      Mode:Master Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

       

      ath0 IEEE 802.11axa ESSID:"SOME_SSID"  =>  "ath0" interface should boardcast 2.5G
      Mode:Master Frequency:5.24 GHz Access Point: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

       

       

      Then run command

       

      uci show wireless.@wifi-iface[0]
      uci show wireless.@wifi-iface[1]

       

       

       

      root@RBS750:/# uci show wireless.@wifi-iface[1]
      wireless.FhAp2=wifi-iface

      wireless.FhAp5.key='SOME_KEY'
      wireless.FhAp5.encryption='psk2+ccmp'
      wireless.FhAp5.wps_pbc='1'

       

       

       

      now we know:

      ath1 is 2.5G, in nvram named "FhAp2", FhAp2.device='wifi1'

      ath0 is 5G, in nvram named "FhAp5", FhAp5.device='wifi0'

       

       

      Run:

      nvram show

      search for ath0 and ath1, found:

       

      radio1.vap1.name=ath0

      radio1.vap1.ssid=SOME_SSID   => change it to 5G ssid

       

      wifi.2gfh_main=radio2.vap1

      radio2.vap1.name=ath1

      radio2.vap1.ssid=SOME_SSID  =>  => change it to 2.4G ssid

       

      Then you can change your ssid with: (I haven't confirm it before..)

       

      # nvram set wla_temp_ssid="YOUR_SSID"
      # nvram set wla_ssid="YOUR_SSID"
      # nvram set wlh_temp_ssid="YOUR_SSID"
      # nvram set wlh_ssid="YOUR_SSID"
      nvram set radio1.vap1.ssid="YOUR_SSID_5G" nvram set radio2.vap1.ssid="YOUR_SSID_2.4G"

       

      I havent firgure out what exactly  wla_XX and and wlh_XX for.. I guess whl_XX probably use for display in the UI(not really sure)....If you got chance you can try around to confirm..

        Yes, I tried to modify wla and wlh before, but it couldn't take effect
