Hello, Would multiple SSIDs from the same router affect your speed? For example, a main network plus two guest networks? Asus RT-AC88U

Here are some alternative phrasings:

- If ten individuals are linked to the main network (without any guests), or
- With five users on the main side and five on the guest side... All of them receive full theoretical bandwidth to the router (600 Mbs, 2.4GHz here?)... The router's CPU handles a bit more strain managing two SSIDs, that’s it? Thanks.

It relies on the router's maximum speed and your internet link. With a 600Mbps connection, the bandwidth will split across those ten links, not always equally. Adding more SSIDs won't significantly affect performance until you exceed around five of them.
