Band Steering
Band Steering is intended to relieve congestion by encouraging dual-band client devices to use the
higher capacity 5 GHz band. To make use of Band Steering, ensure that networks are assigned to both
radios.
For Band Steering to work eectively, configure similar coverage areas for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands. Design the network for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz coverage. For networks where coverage quality
diers between bands, disable Band Steering.
Enable or disable Band Steering per SSID from the Networks tab within the device group or for a
specific AP WLAN override. Band Steering per SSID is supported on all Wi-Fi 6 access points.
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.

Policy
You can define policy rules for a role to specify network access. Network policies are a set of rules,
defined in a specific order, that determine how connections are authorized or denied. If you do not
define policy rules for a role, the role's default action is applied to all trac subject to that role. However,
if you require user-specific filter definitions, then the filter ID configuration identifies the specific role
that is applied to the user.
