  As others also indicated: Huh? Sure some routers have different
*SSIDs* for different frequencies, but those different SSDs are on the
same *network*, i.e. IP address range. For example my SSIDs are of the
form <SSID> (5GHz) and <SSID>_2.4, but all IP addresses are in the range
192.168.178.DDD.

  It would be reasonable if a router had the *capability* to have
different networks for different frequencies, but surely it must also
have the capability to treat different frequencies as one network.
