automatically shifts the connection of Dual-Band client computers, tablets, smart phones
and other devices to the 5 GHz band where there is less trafc and more available RF
channels. This leaves Single-Band 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n) clients to operate in the 2.4
GHz band that with Band Steering activated becomes less congested.
