NanoPi R2S Plus SBC has a WiFi module based on RTL8822CS.
In LuCI I choose Network → Wireless, then Add one 5 Ghz network (select channel manually), Save & Apply.
After confirming that my 5 GHz SSID is broadcasted and clients can connect, I do the same thing and configure the second wireless network, which is a 2.4 GHz network, and I select channel manually as well. Save & Apply.
After that, both my networks (they have different SSIDs and secrets) become 2.4 GHz networks. When I edit the first one, switch it back to 5 Ghz, and Save & Apply, both become 5 GHz networks.
Also, I noticed that when you set channel to <auto>, wireless configuration fails to work, the router doesn't broadcast any SSIDs. My other router (a different brand, but with the official OpenWrt image) can handle several SSIDs in both bands simultaneously just fine.
Why can it be happening? How do I fix this?

RTL8822CS wireless chip is capable of running in 5GHz 802.11ac mode, or in 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11n model, therefore it should be possible to configure it in dual band mode.
I can't set up two SSIDs each in its own band, when I set up the second SSID, it overrides band:channel selection like this: uci set wireless.radio0.band='5g'
Channel autodetection doesn't work, you have to specify the channel manually.
