I want to allocate two different names to the two bands in my Sky Max router. One name for the 2.4 g (for example: Home_SKY_24g) and for 5g (Home_Sky_5g). I have tried logging in the router but names are greyed out and I cannot change them. When I am trying through the My Sky App., there is an option to change the SSID but the change would affect the name for both bands. I want one different name per band.

@lgarcia.name123 unfortunstely like many WiFi6 routers it is impossible to split the WiFi bands on the Sky Max hub as it breaks WiFi6 which requires the two bands to be synchronised. If you have devices that wont connect temporarily disable the 5GHz band connect the devices and then renable the 5GHz signal and the devices should stay connected.

Unfortunately the Max Hub doesn't have that option.
