I'm configuring a dual-band wireless D-Link router with two wireless network
names (SSID) ... one for the 5GHz band, and the other for 2.4GHz. Right now
my 5GHz band's name is "dlink_media" and I want to change it to have the
same name as the 2.4GHz band. Can the SSID on both bands be the same?

Is the 5GHz band mainly for "media" right now? I guess when Wireless-N @
5GHz leaves 'beta' stage, I will know for sure.

Hello,

Just go ahead and try. If it does not allow it, the router should inform you
with its own user input error checking functions. Or if you don't want to
risk it, contact D-Link support directly.
