Hi all,
I went through what is called the "M&M guide" (I guess?) from L&LD and followed all the steps to configure the basics of the router.
First of all, big thanks to L&LD for taking the time to write such a post.
Here are my questions:
Thanks!

Here are my questions:
- I used a single SSID for both frequencies, is this bad practice?
Reason is: I have a powerline network adapter with a different SSID to bring the signal to another part of the house, and if I split the SSIDs that would mean 4 different access points to choose from and switch between.. my girlfriend was not very enthusiastic of the idea..
- is Smart Connect advisable? I thought it would compensate to the "issue" of having a single SSID, but somehow I am being kept to 2.4 even when I should be on 5..
- what Channel bandwidth should I pick for 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz?
- what Control Channel for 5 GHz? With 160 Mhz of channel bandwidth I can go up to 128 (not sure how in the guide the suggestion is 161)
- any RT-AX86U specific weird thing I should know about?
Thanks!
