band-steering
ARM’s band steering
feature can encourage or
require dual-band capable
clients to stay on the 5GHz
band on dual-band APs.
This frees up resources on
the 2.4GHz band for single
band clients like VoIP
phones.
Band steering reduces co-
channel interference and
increases available
bandwidth for dual-band
clients, because there are
more channels on the 5GHz
band than on the 2.4GHz
band. Dual-band 802.11n-
capable clients may see
even greater bandwidth
improvements, because the
band steering feature will
automatically select
between 40MHz or 20MHz
channels in 802.11n
networks. This feature is
disabled by default, and
must be enabled in a Virtual
AP profile.
