Please allow for separate 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz SSIDs on Nighthawk MR60
Please allow for the ability to separate the SSIDs for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies on the Nighthawk MR60. There are some smart home devices that only work on the 2.4Ghz band.

> I did attempt the 'hide SSID' solution to no avail with a laptop with only 2.4GHz
This a proposal for a workaround for dumb IoT discovery utilities on mobile phones with a hard coded check if the mobile is connected to the network on the 2.4 GHz and this cant be bypassed. In no way this will change anything for connecting a normal wireless client.
