What is the recommended amount of SSIDs to use on the 3605/3610 APs?

APs are 3605/3610
Software: 09.21.10.0005

We currently use 3 SSIDs on our APs ( all broadcast on 2.4 and 5), but I think it is causing a lot of wireless issues like drop connections and devices not connecting to an AP right away, or devices timing out and getting a 169 address. Since we have 3 SSIDs, does that mean there are actually 6 BSSIDs per AP? The APs are dual band. So there is 6 BSSIDs floating around per AP. And if there is 23 AP in one building, that's 138 BSSIDs out there. Is it better to have just one SSID? on both radios

Hello Laura
The lower amount the better. We suggest 3 or less.
