Dual-Adapter Scanning on 2.4g and 5g** To cover the full Wi-Fi spectrum efficiently, we leverage two adapters simultaneously. Though airodump-ng supports multiple interfaces in one command, using separate instances simplifies control. -Both airodump processes can run in parallel, each scanning its own band. Just ensure different -w output prefixes to avoid file conflicts. If desired, you can run both interfaces with one command and control behavior with --cswitch, but separate processes are easier. Check that each instance is hopping through its channels (1-11 and 36+). If the 5 GHz scan shows no results initially, it may be due to current channel inactivity. +Both airodump processes can run in parallel, each scanning its own band.

Dual-band APs with same SSID but different BSSIDs will show twice - expected. Use BSSID for deduplication internally. End-user output can omit BSSID :)
