Hi,
I'm a little stumped with the following issue:
I disabled SON, enabled 5G SSID and enabled it to broadcast. Both SSIDs have different names and are set to automatically detect channels. I see it in my Fios app as well as the settings of the router. However, none of my devices see the 5G SSID when searching for Wifi. I tested it out by going close to the router too thinking it was distance. Any ideas or help would be really appreciated!

As long as you do not have FIOS TV too, you are set. 🙂
If you have FIOS TV too, I heard/read that you must have the FIOS router.

I would enable SON, which allows for a single network name...
"Self Organizing Network. A Self-Organizing Networks (SON) is a technology that significantly improves Wi-Fi performance by automatically connecting customer devices to the optimal Wi-Fi band available and identifying and fixing Wi-Fi issues."

I was having a lot of issues with all my devices dropping the connection. So wanted to split the 2.4 and 5 bands to test out
