Matching SSIDs to radios

Up until a couple days ago I had suggested putting every SSID on every radio.

But now I know thre is this:

So I'd most likely use the same SSID but different passphrases for every network and put every network on every adapter.

If there's a reason for some networks to be not available (e.g. don't use the 5GHz devices for IoT if all my IoT clients didn't support 5GHz anyway, or VPN is only meant for my FireTV stick which sits 2m next to my router and should oly ever use the 5GHz channels), exclde those that make no sense.

But in general: Put everything everywhere. Traditionally by putting every SSID on every adapter, or after discovering the thread mentioned above, use the same SSID with different passwords on every adapter.
