3. Would doing this mean I have 2 SSID set up?
Thanks again.

Basically, you'll end up with 2 SSIDs - one for 5 GHz and one for 2.4 GHz. By default, I connect my devices to 5 GHz (if supported). I have a few that aren't dual band, so they just go on 2.4.
The only time that I have opted for 2.4 over 5 (on a device that supports 5) is when I'm trying to stream something while in my detached garage. The 5 just won't make it there reliably.
If you leave the SSID for 2.4 the same name, anything that connected to it previously will continue to do so. And then you can hand pick what you connect to the new 5, if you like.
