disable Band Steering at either the AP override or on the Networks tab of the configuration Profile, to
regain control over the WLAN assignment per radio band.
Note
The Band Steering feature steers 5 GHz clients toward the 5 GHz band. 6E clients can self
steer into the 6 GHz band for service.
On the AP List, a check mark in the Override column indicates that the AP is associated with an
Override.

Cell Size Control Settings
These AP settings help improve network connectivity. They can be set at the device group level or as an
AP Override setting.

Field Description
Probe Suppression on Low RSS Reduces the number of probe responses by preventing clients
with low RSS from associating with an AP radio. This setting is
configured per radio. Clients with RSS measured below the
Probe Suppression RSS Threshold will not associate with the
AP. This setting is disabled by default.
Disassociate on Low RSS This setting is supported on AP39xx, AP3xx, AP4xx, or AP5xx.
It is always disabled by default. This setting forces clients with
low RSS to disassociate from an AP radio. This setting is
configured per radio. A client is forced o an AP radio when
RSS is measured at 5dBm below the Probe Suppression RSS
Threshold. Enabling this option forces a client to roam to a
better AP for improved network performance.
Probe Suppression RSS Threshold
(dBm)
This setting is available when Probe Suppression on Low RSS
is enabled. This setting determines the RSS threshold for forced
disassociation and probe suppression. The default threshold is
-90 dBm. Valid value range is -50dBm to -100dBm.
Best Practice: Probe Suppression Threshold should not be
greater than -70dB. The Probe Suppression Threshold defines
the signal strength value that is deemed too low to be
acknowledged by the AP. Setting the threshold above -70dB
can result in an AP not acknowledging clients in close
proximity, leading to poor connectivity or a sub-optimal
roaming experience. The best practice is to follow the Site
Survey methodology to determine the best value for the AP
installation.
