How do I create separate SSIDs for 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz networks on the WAC6103D-I?
For example, "My 5G Wi-Fi" only applies to 5Ghz networks and "My 2.4G Wi-Fi" only applies to 2.4Ghz networks.

    Hi @FabioBasso,

    You can create separate SSIDs for your 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks on your WAC6103D-I through the Nebula by following these steps:

    1. In Nebula, navigate to Site-wide > Configure > Access points > SSID settings.
    2. Enable "Advanced mode".
    3. Click "+Add SSID network" to create your first SSID.
    4. Edit this new SSID, naming it "My 2.4G Wi-Fi".
    5. Under the "Advanced settings" for this SSID, set the "Band mode" to "2.4 GHz band".
    6. Save your changes.
    7. Repeat steps 3-6 to create your second SSID.
    8. For "My 5G Wi-Fi", set the "Band mode" to "5 GHz band" in its "Advanced settings".
    9. Save your settings.

    This setup will ensure that "My 2.4G Wi-Fi" broadcasts only on the 2.4GHz frequency and "My 5G Wi-Fi" only on the 5GHz frequency.
