Mixed Radio Wi-fi?

Other than giving both radios the same name is there a way of using the 2g and 5g radio under one SSID?

• I'm not clear on what you're asking. There is no requirement that the 2.4 and 5.4 use the same SSID to work together. And "giving them the same name" is giving them the same SSID.
• If you're referring to auto pick of 2.4 or 5.4, OpenWrt does not include any "band steering" capability by default.

See:

Dual-band SSID Best Practices?

What's the best practice for setting SSIDs on a dual-band access point? For example, on a router with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, should I: Set both SSIDs to the same value, and have clients connect to that SSID, leaving the choice to the client OS. Set a different SSID for each band, and configure the client OS to connect to exactly one of them. Set a different SSID for each band, but configure the client OS with both of them in order of preference (if the OS allows it).
