New C7100v Comcast Firmware

My modem/router was just auto updated by comcast to firmware V2.01.42 and I noticed that now I cannot name my two wifi frequencies 2.4Ghz an 5Ghz with the same SSID.  Has anyone experienced this and is there a workaround?  Prior to this firmware upgrade everything was fine.  Appreciate the help.

    Try a factory reset and setup from scratch...

    Possible that the C7100 is not intended to use same SSID names on both radios..
