Add The ability to separate the SSIDs for 2.4ghz and 5ghz
Please provide the ability to separate the SSIDs for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz WiFi bands. I need this functionality to help support my 4K media devices and some of the older 2.4ghz only devices.

This is already possible with most, it not all, non-Orbi routers.
For Orbi, that is how they thing is designed to work. That is what Mesh is all about.

You should not need to do this to support 2.4 Ghz-only devices. If they can't work on 5 GHz they won't see it.
If you need help on that front, it has nothing to do with feature requests, try the community.
