Orbi RBR50 - separate SSIDs for 2.4 vs 5GHz

For the Orbi RBR50...

Can different SSID's be assigned to 2.4 vs 5GHz?

Can different channels be assigned to different devices, or must they all be the same?

 

      Thank you.    Art Lieberman

the Orbi series doesn't support seperating out the 2.4ghz from the 5ghz band. Its one of the most requested features. 

Not sure what you mean by "can different channels be assisged to different devices"

I was able to setup separate SSIDs on my Orbi RBR50 using the process described here:

However, after udating the Firmware to V2.7.3.22 Telnet is no longer available as far as I can tell, which is unfortunate.
