Band Steering
When “Band steering” is enabled, when the wireless client first associates with the AP, the AP will detects
whether or not the wireless client is dual-band capable, and if it is, it will force the client to connect to the less
congested 5GHz network to relieve congestion and overcrowding on the mainstream 2.4GHz frequency. It does
this by actively blocking the client's attempts to associate with the 2.4GHz network.
Note: For Band Steering to take effect, both 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs must have the same SSID and security
settings. Wireless clients must be in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless coverage zone when authenticating with
the AP for the Band Steering algorithm to take effect.
