Two 2.4ghz wifi ssids

[cookiemonsteruk]

Just noticed since getting sky q that there are 2 ssids on 2.4ghz. One is  N144 the other N289

Is one of them a dedictated connection to the hub or the sky q acting as a mesh (which i have no need for) How do i disable if mesh i don't want to disable if its a connection to the hub.  

There is no equivalent on 5ghz but the rx packets when downloading seem to be via the  unsync'ed 5ghz band

There's no way to disable mesh/hotspot functions without switching off WiFi entirely.  Separate control has been requested for years, but never arrived.

So it is the mesh ? Am i correct in that sky q  connects on 2.4 only but otherwise functions on the 5ghz . Just trying to work things out 👍

As I recall when Sky is the ISP Q data backhaul for television traffic is on 2.4Ghz only via an SSID with no published key (set up by WPS between the boxes) but the Hub and Q television boxes offer 'user' WiFi on 2.4 and 5Ghz (synchronised by default) using the Hub key.

Many thanks, So am i best to resync wifi or keep them unsync'ed..  Seems to work fine unsync'ed but wonderining if there are any limitations to unsyncing re: sky q

I dont think it makes any difference between synced and unsynced. Having the two SSIDs is normal as one is your Hubs SSID and the other is what the Q boxes use to talk to each other.
