Your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks probably have different BSSIDs. In my
wpa_supplicant.conf, I list the two by BSSID instead of my SSID:
# 5 GHz
network=3D{
bssid=3D00:11:22:33:44:56
psk=3D"password"
priority=3D2
}
# 2.4 GHz
network=3D{
bssid=3D00:11:22:33:44:55
psk=3D"password"
priority=3D1
}
Best,
David
