Default How are we supposed to read 5GHz WiFi signal strength bands?

You have to realize what Jeff is trying to tell you, which is that any
common name for the ESSID has *already* been hashed.

In that case, WPA2/PSK is worthless.

Use a common name, and you immediately have no security no matter what
you set the security to.
