I believe that generally, users understand versions and speeds but not the implications of certain frequencies.  So, rather than focusing on the frequency I would throw these out there as suggestions: (even though the nit-picker in me is cringing a bit)

For the 2.4GHz SSID:
- CEROwrt-old
- CEROwrt-slow

and just CEROwrt for the 5GHz SSID, with the intent that the the choice offered to the users nudges them towards the better choice.

Cheers,

I have long used "5" as an indicator that the 5ghz channel was better.
This goes back to a long thread on nanog, like 4? 5? years ago, where
the hope was to train users that "5" was better.

Well, it's turned out that 5 is frequently better, but not always, AND
that clients tend to go for the shortest of the SSIDs available. So a
thought would be to create another ad-hoc standard for deprecating 2.4
ghz, and have the shorter SSID be the 5ghz one.

Ideas for the 2ghz channel:

CEROwrt-legacy
CEROwrt2

I'm not huge on "legacy" because it's rather long but am stuck for
standards, I'd like a default 2.4 ghz SSID that clearly indicates the
real use to which 2.4ghz is suitable, like:
CEROwrt-GET-OFF-MY-BABY-MONITOR-YOU-FREAK

ideas for another ssid naming standard slightly longer than a single
digit that would make sense to mom?
