We have a UniFi Router (Ubiquity) and it has a dashboard for info about the usage, devices, settings and etc. But I want to know how the router's resources will be divided if I will be using two (2) SSID?

Thanks!

It more depends on how many devices are actually using the SSID. A SSID is a tiny message the router sends out a very low rate.

I at one time had a router sending 100's of ssid. This was to trick other peoples routers who had them set to auto to choosing other radio channels thinking there was too much traffic on the channels I had.

The SSID broadcasts themselves take very little cpu and very little actual bandwidth. It is the actual traffic from the end devices that matter.

So you are saying that there is no effect on its CPU and RAM? No division of loads on CPU and RAM?
