Sorry for this somewhat OT question, but I know that I'm tapping into a mother lode of Wi-Fi knowledge...
A local coffee shop wants a guest and a private network, supported by separate SSIDs. Is there a benefit (or would it be bad) to put the public network on one channel and the other network/SSID on another channel?
(And is the answer the same for their 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios?) Many thanks.
Rich

You generally can't, at least not in the same band. You could put one on
2.4GHz and the other on 5GHz, but to run multiple SSIDs on the same
radio, they generally need to be on the same channel (you can see this
by the way the openwrt config splits things into 'phy' and 'device'
config sections).
