Airtime Fairness Select Enabled to activate airtime fairness to
provide the same communication time (air time)
to all connected clients regardless of
communication speed. Select Disabled, the
default, to turn Airtime Fairness off.
Band Steering Use this option to enable or disable band steering
on the radios. Band steering reduces radio
congestion by forcing wireless clients that support
both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios to associate with
VAPs on a different radio during periods of traffic
congestion. Band steering forces clients to
associate with VAPs on a 5GHz radio when there
is traffic congestion on the 2.4GHz radio.
Conversely, clients are forced to associate with
VAPs on the 2.4GHz radio when the 5GHz radios
are congested. Here are the guidelines:
- Enabling band steering on one radio activates
it on all three radios. Conversely, disabling the
feature on one radio disables it on all radios.
- Ideally, the VAP settings on all radios should be
identical. This includes SSID names, VLAN
IDs, and security settings.
- The default setting is disabled.
