By default, the combined “WiFi 2.4G & 5G” feature is enabled, which means both
2.4GHz and 5GHz are active and use same SSID Name & Password.
Any 5GHz WiFi capable Wireless user will have preference to connect over 5GHz
WiFi radio with their router for the best performance (in terms of speed). 2.4GHz
WiFi radio is suitable for good coverage but offers low throughput compared to
5GHz WiFi.
Band Steering: When this feature is enabled, the router will connect to the user
equipment by 5GHz when the user equipment is near the router, and by 2.4GHz
when the user equipment is far from the router. When this feature is disabled, it is
the user equipment instead of the router that decides which frequency WiFi to
connect to. By default, this feature is disabled.
