Hi.

I have a Archer AC1200 and i would like to know if it is recommended or not to use the same SSiD and password for the 2.4 and 5Ghz band.
I don't want different SSIDs in my network.

A second question is, will there be support for this router to support Mesh networks? Meaning, this could be a base router and we only had to adquire the satelites.

Thank you.

I am using the same SSID on both 2.4G and 5G, it works, but it is not actual mesh network, I heard their new product Deco M5 support mesh network

Yes, i know it' not Mesh. My question is if TP-LINK will integrate some of their products (like ASUS) to support Mesh in the near future.
