Band Steering
Band Steering Status Select the enable radio button to enable band steering to the
5 GHz band for access points that support dual bands simultaneously.
If band steering is enabled, the wireless controller identifies wireless
clients that are dual-band capable and can force them to connect to the
5 GHz band rather than 2.4 GHz band. Wireless clients that are
already connected to the 2.4 GHz band can be forced into the 5 GHz
band.
In general, the 5 GHz band provides more channels, provides more
bandwidth, and causes less interference for wireless clients. By
default, the disable radio button is selected, and band steering is
disabled.
