I noticed that I can't combine the 6ghz SSID, I do some people saying you can have it as the same name as a workaround.

 

Wondering if that will cause any issues, does it actually combine under one SSID or do I just have 2 networks broadcasting the same name?

  @something_else Yes you can combine them without issue. My iOS devies all automatically switch between the 3 bands, preferring 6ghz when they are close enough. The only issue I saw was with Windows laptops, you have to go into adapter settings and set `prefer 6ghz` to get them to auctually use it.

  @AngerMCS so I tried this. My only 6ghz compatible devices are my iphone and my galaxy fold. Both of them have the same issue where they dont switch to the 5ghz band automatically and instead just say "waiting for connection to improve" or just drop the wifi. 

is there a reason deco doesnt allow combining them easily in the app?
