Name change for 5ghz band in Airtel Router Titanium-2122A

[utrtrtr]

I have the Titanium-2122A router for Airtel Wifi,

I want the 5Ghz to be a separate Name to connect some devices only using 5ghz band

I have tried changing names of 5ghz band, it reset on power cycle.(and both bands names get merged)

Tried disabling band steering, it resets on power cycle (and both bands names get merged)

Power cycle automatically happens from Airtel Backend between 12-1AM

Any solution for the same?

I don't use that ONT anymore but I remember their were 3-4 SSID per band you can set, and the first SSID is automatically handled by the Airtel Backend.

So, there should be an option to simply turn off the first SSID and use the second one.

@itsureya Which is the best ONT these days, will ask cc to change?

Thanks I am using ssid2 now

I am actually not using Airtel anymore. I have stopped recharging, but I still have the ONT. But I tried requesting Airtel to upgrade my CPE to a Wifi 6 version once, but they said they need a reason to change the CPE (like malfunction or something else). If you want to change your ONT, tell them you require more LAN ports, and they might replace yours with a better one.
