Item Description

Enable Band Steering

If it is enabled, VigorAP will detect if the wireless client is

capable of dual-band or not within the time limit.

Check Time…. – If the wireless station does not have the

capability of 5GHz network connection, the system shall

wait and check for several seconds (15 seconds, in default)

to make the 2.4GHz network connection. Specify the time

limit for VigorAP to detect the wireless client.

5GHz Minimum RSSI – The wireless station has the

capability of 5GHz network connection, yet the signal

performance might not be satisfied. Therefore, when the

signal strength is below the value set here while the

wireless station connecting to VigorAP 920RP, VigorAP

will allow the client to connect to 2.4GHz network.

Overloaded – If it is enabled, VigorAP will activate the

band steering according to the conditions set below.

 2.4GHz Utilization Overload Threshold – The

default setting is 70%. It can define the network

congestion for 2.4GHz.

 5GHz Utilization Overload Threshold – The default

setting is 70%. It can define the network congestion

for 5GHz.

When the utilization of 2.4GHz is higher than the specified

threshold and the utilization of 5GHz is lower than the

specified threshold, VigorAP will steer the client to connect

to 5GHz network.
