how do I give the 5 ghz band a different SSID from the 2.4
All I want to do is give my 5 ghz band a different SSID. Can someone point me to info on this?

Hi, welcome to the community.
You could disable 2.4GHz and leave 5GHz only on the main Network, then enable IOT Network for 2.4GHz only with a different SSID.

@David-TP, My problem is that the 2.4 must not be changed, it is the 5 that must be changed. It seems that this is a simple thing but I am an even simpler person :)

Thank you very much for your time and patience.
On the Deco X55_V1.2, you are able to have three wireless signals: Main Network+Guest Network+IOT network. All of them could work on 2.4 GHz only/5 GHz only/ 2.4 GHz+5 GHz. The guest network is separate from the other two networks.
So if you tend not to change the 2.4 GHz on the main network, you could enable IOT network for 5 GHz only and assign a different SSID, or enable Guest network for 5 GHz only and assign a different SSID.
Best regards.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately it does not answer my poorly worded question. I know "what" I want to do. I do not know "how" to do it. Where in the tp-link app does it enable me to set the names of the 2.4 and 5.0 bands separately? Right now both bands have the same name, lets say FREDDY-24. I want the 2.4 band to remain the same but change the 5.0 band to FREDDY-50. I have been unable to find a screen that enable me to separately name the bands. What I need is something like this:
Step 1 - open the tp-link app
Step 2 - click on this
Step 3 - click on that
Step 4 - .....
Final step - type in the name you want to give the 5.0 band and save
I have not been able to find a way to do this. With my ancient tp-link router I could do this easily. I know I'm missing something simple but I am even simpler so it is eluding me.
Thanks,
