The router in question is not mine. The installed version is 22.03-rc6 (yes, sorry, I need to tell that person that we need to upgrade his router). The use case is to put it near the window and catch the 2.4 GHz signal from there (i.e. a wireless ISP with the SSID "WISP"), perform the NAT, and reshare as three wireless networks with different names.
There is no wired connection.

The auto-assigned BSSIDs are:
34:98:B5:19:B6:18: WISP (client)
36:98:B5:19:B6:18: MILLER 2.4G
32:98:B5:19:B6:18: MILLER AUTO (on 2.4 GHz)
34:98:B5:19:B6:19: MILLER 5G
36:98:B5:19:B6:19: MILLER AUTO (on 5 GHz) <-- this does not work
The problem is - the "MILLER AUTO" network is only visible on 2.4 GHz. Is this a bug, or expected behavior for a router with two radios on the same chip? In LinSSID, sometimes also appears a strangely looking <mesh MILLER 5G> entry with the BSSID 36:98:B5:19:B6:19 which should be taken by MILLER AUTO on 5 GHz.
On my own Linksys E8450 I have no problem with the same SSID on both bands.
Any ideas why this happens? Did I do anything wrong when setting up that router?
EDIT: Ouch. Somebody set the 5 GHz version of the MILLER AUTO network as hidden. Sorry for the confusion!
