While this technology has its benefits, different devices at home have different reaction and response to changes in signal strength and quality, and it's almost impossible to predict if they will make good band choices due to the interaction between the devices and the Wifi router.

Example:

As single SSID is used, the device may remain on a weak 5GHz network instead of switching over to stronger 2.4GHz network.
