I do have two ISPs right now. Im going to eventually cancel ATT and go to Spectrum due to value, speed and latency. The ATT is only 25mbps while I can get 400 mbps and much better latency using Spectrum.
My golf simulator cannot connect to 5.0 ghz. I cannot connect it via ethernet. I have been able to get it to connect to other 2.4ghz networks no problem but the Spectrum wifi doesn't even show up on the Golf Simulator. It shows up on every single device I have.
I mentioned used because I want to get a good one and a used one of higher value. Since I also play online poker reliability and latency are important.

Spectrum is selling you bullshit.
They've somehow setup their gear to only allow you to set a single SSID for both bands.
Pretty much every consumer router allows you to set both bands to the same SSID or to two different ones.
Not sure why you'd be having issues with 2.4Ghz devices just because you have the same SSID on both bands though. Highly unlikely that's the cause, just so you know.
As buying a router, there's great routers out there that are dual band for under $50 brand new. Not sure why you'd buy a used one.
