Simon Jaeger on Nostr: My new router is tri-band, and I kind of want to stop using separate wi-fi network ...
My new router is tri-band, and I kind of want to stop using separate wi-fi network names for each band and unify them all under one name. Does anyone know if this still breaks modern voice assistants or any other devices? I think my original reason for separating the 2.4 and 5 GHZ bands was either the echo dot or the Google Home refusing to find the 2.4g network when both were named the same thing. I found out later that I could have disabled the 5g network entirely, connected the Googlezons, and then re-enabled it, but by that time I had already separated them. I'd prefer to have them all under a single SSID, even if that means reconfiguring a bunch of devices, but not if it's still a headache.
