How to create one SSID network name for 2.4 GHz and another SSID network name for 5 GHz on Deco M9 Plus

You will not be able to seperate the names as that is not how the Deco was designed. What will happen is as you are connected to the Deco, your speed requirements will determine which band the Deco places you on.
You can potentially enable the guest network to have a seperate network name, but clients connected to the guest network will not be able to communcate with clients on the main network.

There should be option to create separate SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 bands, It doesn't make sense a media/streaming device to automatically connect to 2.4 only because it has little better signal. This will cause streaming isue specially for HD and 4K contents.
I just go M9 plus Deco, it's useless for me if I can't separate two bands. Please confirm when can we see this feature roll out?

Hi @Tony, this is very frustrating. I can't believe that Deco M9 Plus does not offer this configuration. This is a very basic feature. If I knew this before I would not have bought this product. When upgrading my WiFi router in the feature I will not consider any TPLink product.

I am also shocked that Deco X60 SW is far behind the state-of-the-art feature level. Even my TP-Link AC1200 EAP225 can do so! This small AP has a far better UI via WEB-PORTAL and I even can add additional SSIDs like for my IOT!
WHY please is the high-end X60 not having these capabilities? I am more than disapointed!
Also: there is no hot-button for switching guest-WLAN on/off (neither in App nor in WebPortal) also no rest-api to integrate that function into my smart-home (even my AVM fritzbox can do!).
I am seriously hoping for a new level of firmware/App.

Echoing the requests here. Please provide an update if this is even in the works. Trying to decide if I should return my X60.

I am one more echoing this.
I have 3xM9 and 3xX60 and with such a big network it is exoectable that I would, at some point, require to seperate networks
So either the ability to create multiple SSIDs (that connect to different VLANs / networks on the wired deco) or the ability to create multiple networks on the same set of Decos
Cmon... This is basic features that all your competitors do
To be honest I have 2 options - either keep buying Decos or throw them in the bin and buy Ubiquiti mesh... They support all these features
