The SSID/key can be the same on any/all WLAN bands. (There's 60 GHz too now, apparently.) All the wireless networks I deal with have the same SSID and key on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This includes a place with more than 10 WAPs all on the same network. Old WLAN devices did have problems handing off

Possibly not. I haven't upgraded as the one program I use on that machine doesn't have a package for Raspbian Buster. Looks like there might be an Ubuntu PPA for it though, so I'll have to give that a go at some point. Ubuntu Server 64-bit will run perfectly with 1 GB RAM, right? -- Andrew.
