single ssid
Home Internet has one SSID for 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ. Can 2 SSID be enabled?
I worked with a t-mobile tech and he found out how to add multiple SSIDs to their modem/routers. You HAVE to use the phone app, choose "Network" at the bottom, and then click the plus "+" sign in the lower right corner. That will let you add a new dual-bad SSID with a different name and password. This feature is not available on the web version. It is pretty straight forward, once you know this. I've been looking for weeks, and called twice, and there is ZERO documentation about how to add more SSIDs.

OK let me try to explain!
I have Tmobile ssid “xyz” same for both 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ and that is fine, SSID is enabled for both.
Now I have configured Netgear extender for 2 SSID "xyz_2GEXT" and "xyz_5GEXT". Both keep dropping.
xyz_2GEXT says couldn’t find IP address
xyz_5GEXT says log in to network and prompts for admin user and password (log in does nothing for underlying message)
Netgear says it is bandwidth conflict so give different names for 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ on router.
I think it should work as is, single SSID for router and 2 for Extender.
