Different SSID for 2.4 and 5GHz on RBR20
We'd like to set the SSID for 2.4GHz and SSID for 5Ghz to different names. Can't figure out how to do that in the wireless settings.

What do you mean?
I assume that this is what you are asking about? Hard to tell from the nested quotes in your reply.
I was replying to @FURRYe38 who originally said.."Setting of separate SSIDs is not officially supported by NG for Orbi systems. "
Then he came back with another response with possible options..???.....somewhat confusing.

Not in the least. Both responses are perfectly accurate and not at all contradictory.
Netgear does not support using two separate SSIDs.
Netgear does support turning off SSID broadcasts.
Where is there a confusion in that?
I suggested disabling the 5 GHz SSID because SKPnSFP did not explain why they wanted to have two different SSIDs.
My first message explains why I put that idea forward. So I will leave you to read that again if you are interested.

his second response (IMHO) added no value. It was only after others talking different options. Sorry you see it otherwise.. have a nice day please
