[i have posted this on other ftns for those that don't care this one]
I recently got stuck with an EERO 6E Plus wireless router as part of
my migration to metronet (fiber internet).
The device throws 3 bands of wifi into one SSID, and creates havoc for
trying to use wireless devices.
So I'm interested in purchasing a good wifi router that has 2-3
bands, that can all be setup with their own SSID. To avoid issues
with 2.4G devices not being able to be setup, due to conflicts with
2.4/5G devices talking to same SSID.
Currently, I have like 6 blink cameras, and 4 wifi light bulbs I
cannot use because of this situtation.
I've found TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router ARCHER AXE75 on
amazon, and looks nice. The manual clearly shows that each band has
it's own SSID. The guest network can even be set up with 1/2/3 bands,
and those can have separate SSID from the non-guest network.
Current price is $179, but going to wait until midnight to see if it
goes lower durin prime days. But I'm open to other suggestions in
this price range and available on amazon, so I can get it in a few
days. --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux

I had 2.4g and 5g on the same SSID and quickly separated them out, but
I'm using OpenWRT on a Netgear router.
I've been using one SSID on a Linksys WRT1900ACS running OpenWRT, it
seems to work OK. What kind of problems did you run into?

I'd get drop outs if I was away from the router and it would try switching between bands or a 5g device would get stuck on 2.4g unless I changed it manually.

I'm using OpenWRT on a Netgear router. If you really want tri-band then OpenWRT probably isn't going to work yet but if you're happy with 2
bands and want something likely better maintained than your stock
firmware, that's something to consider.
I've been using OpenWRT for years now and wont go back.
