Your Samsung Grand Prime should be able to connect to either the 5 Ghz SSID or the 2.4 Ghz SSID. Look in the WiFi setting under Saved Networks and you should be able to Forget the network settings for those SSIDs and start fresh.

Forget your stored wifi connections on the SSIDs and then reboot/restart your phone. Then try to reconnect.

I'm beginning to think my phone is just too old to understand the "Smart Steering" of the modem (it's a T3200M).

If you see 2 separate SSIDs from your router then smart steering is OFF.

Well something is odd then as I just logged into the modem with the local ip address and it says that SmartSteeering is on and only shows the one original ssid which, after reading about it here on the Telus site, I think is how it's supposed to work.
I'm still leaning to the phone being the problem as it is almost 7 years old and everything else on the LAN works (except the Canon printer which only works from some of the computers).
