My ISP is telling me to set both radios in their router to the same SSID and password for the best coverage. Does this setup make any sense?
Yes, depending on your physical setup.
The 2.4 band, while slower, penetrates obstacles better. So if your device supports both 2.4 and 5.0 it should seamlessly switch between those bands depending on conditions it senses.
I have my wifi router set that way. When in our home, the top floor of a "condo" building, my phone connects and stays on the 5.0 band. If I move out into the hallway and/or the roof it switches to the 2.4 band.
