The Wireless Settings menu of your modem/router's user interface allows you to control the wireless network in your home. Some models will offer both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz setup options for several of the features. Read more about how to choose 2.4 or 5 GHz frequency here.
Older APs with a limit of 8 BSSIDs per radio had the 2.4GHz radios always end with?0? And the 5GHz radios always end with?8? With newer APs with 16 BSSID limit per radio, the radio mac address always ends in?0? So, you can take the first 11 hex characters you see in the BSSID table and just add a zero. The wireless radio UCI configuration is located in /etc/config/wireless. If the device has ethernet ports, the wireless is turned OFF by default. You can turn it on in /etc/config/wireless by changing option disabled '1' to option disabled '0' (commenting out the line or removing it is sufficient).
