Renaming wifi bands and pods with Hub 4

Hi I have a Hub 4 and one pod to help with poor wifi upstairs. I had to rename wifi bands to connect smart plugs. 

Do In need to do anything to get the pod to connect to newly named networks?

they should work - the 2 bands need to be joined although they do seem to work if they are split but wifi optimisation must be on

My understanding is that the pods will only work with a combined SSID name, if you have give your SSIDs individual names I believe they will not work.

Thanks for posting amb3. 

Our apologies for any confusion with the Pod's and the split WiFi bands. 

We would need the WiFi bands to be merged as one with Smart WiFi activated on the Hub settings as well. 

Please let us know if we can assist further. 

Thanks,
