Add a static DNS entry on your router for the LAN IP address for your webserver.

Of course you'll be otherwise landing on the interface page of your router when the router's WAN IP address is resolved as your webserver.

That's the idea, but you may not want to blindly kick them off if the signal on the other frequency is worse again. The AP needs to know if a connecting device is dual-band.

I noticed when setting it to ::/64 it repopulates the address and the IP address has a status of G - I haven't tried it yet but I trust that it will update on the next reboot
