What?

When you say mode, are you refering to Security Type?

No. Radio mode.

It is perfectly fine to have a dual band capable AP to use the same SSID for both radios. Each radio will have its own BSSID. When a a/b/g/n client scans, it will see two entires for the same SSID with different BSSIDs. This is fine.

Pretty fine, but unfortunately it seems that Lion have a problem with that.

If you are talking about Radio mode, then you statement makes no sense... APs that are capable of 2.4GHz or 5GHz do not have a single "mixed mode radio" where as the radio can do both 2.4 and 5Ghz at the same time. Single radio APs that have radios capable of 2.4 or 5Ghz must be placed in one frequency or the other. And every radio must have a BSSID (just like every ethernet adapater needs a Mac Address).

For dual band APs (APs with two radios) it is perfectly normal to see two BSSIDs for a single SSID. It is up to the client to decide which BSSID to join.

Show me the proof that Lion clients have an issue with single SSID with mulitple APs or single AP with mulitple radios. (more than just a user complaining). When I say proof, I mean sniffer traces and WiFi or kernel logs with airportd debugging turned up.

You need to educate yourself a bit more about wireless before offering wireless advice..

Bernhard,

Did upgrading to 10.7.2 help ? and did you try picking a cleaner channel ? ( Channel 11 in your case). A better solution would be to buy a simultaneous dual band router and use the 5 Ghz band for your Mac's.

I have the same exact issues since upgrading to Lion and have the same Wireless Router, Linksys

WRT54GS.

I have noticed other issues since upgrading and dissapointed the upgrade wasn't as simple as simply upgrading and being good to go. I'm feeling that there are other small issues that I can't put my finger on and just feeling a bit out of control since upgrading to Lion. I decided to upgrade to Lion because running iOS 5 on my iPhone and iPad, so want to be synced on all devices, which I don't currently feel are all in sync as of this writing. I'm sure will work out in the end, but just feeling a bit out of sorts since all the upgrades.
