Changing SSID name 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ

[#1]

Is it possible (advisable) to change one of the SSID names on the HUB 1 either the 2.4GHZ or the 5GHZ so that they have different names. I have been experiencing problems with my Samsung phone being unable to connect to WiFi following a recent update.

One suggestion was that dual band routers using the same SSID name for both bands may be causing the problem.

Thanks for any advice

Quick answer, yes.
Longer answer, there is no detrimental effect to splitting the SSID's and may help alleviate issues you've been having.

Yes. If you log into the router, add a 5 to the 5Ghz SSID and untick the synch with 5Ghz on the 2.4 section.

Apple devices in particular don't like it when both are the same name.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

Thank you both, I've followed your advice Mustrum and it seems to be working.

Thanks again
