Delete a Wifi Band (Apple iOS, not Windows)
I mistakenly set up two 5GHz Wifi Bands when I initially did the setup so I now have two names relating to the 5GHz band. I want to delete the one I set up by mistake but I can't find any instruc...

You "have a setting that you want to delete"
If you don't want smart connect, you can simply change the other 5ghz bands name.
And if you don't want the 2nd 5ghz band, you can disable it. But that kind of ruins the point of having a triband router.
So I'm not sure exactly what you're wanting from this.

I think your response makes sense. You reminded me that I'd bought a tri-band router. When I went to buy a router that had the highest reviews for a router that had fast speeds and high throughput, I forgot this one was a tri-band so the 3rd band that I was asking how to delete, probably just needs to be renamed so I know it's the third band. I'm only using the two for the moment when I switch between the 2.4GHz and the 5.0GHz bands. I previously tried the automatic setting but weird things started happening and every device had to be re-set and all my passwords for logged in services got messed up. (Apple can be finicky with passwords on their old AppleTV devices).
Anyway, I want to thank you for jogging my memory about the tri-band. I think I'm all set and don't have to worry about trying to delete something that's supposed to be present. Appreciate your help!
