Enable or Disable Band Steering for a WiFi Network
Band steering enables the access point to identify the WiFi devices that are dual-band capable and steer
those devices to the 5 GHz band rather than the 2.4 GHz band of a WiFi network (SSID or VAP). Generally,
more channels and bandwidth are available in the 5 GHz band, causing less interference and allowing for
a better user experience. By default, band steering is disabled.
To enable or disable band steering for a WiFi network:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The default user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
