Client Isolation From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:
• Enable. Communication between wireless clients that are
associated to different virtual access points (VAPs) is blocked.
• Dis
able. Communication between wireless clients that are
associated
to different VAPs is allowed. This is the default setting.
Max. Wireless Clients Enter the maximum number of wireless clients that can simultaneously
connect to the wireless access point at one time. The default setting is
128 clients.
Band Steering to 5GHz
Note: This setting does not apply
to th
e 802.11
a/na modes.
Select the Enab
le radio button to enable band steering to the
5 GHz band. When band steering is enabled, the wireless access point
identi
fies 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 has more channels available, has more
band
wid
th, and causes less interference for wireless clients. By default,
the Disable radio button is selected, and band steering is disabled.
When band steering is enabled, you can set the RSSI thresholds that
determine wh
ether a wireless client is forced into the 5 GHz band.
Rssi Threshold 2.4GHz
Note: This setting does not apply
to the 802.11
a/na modes.
Enter a value for the minimum received signal strength indicator (RSSI)
threshold that a wireless client needs to have to connect to the 2.4 GHz
band. The default is 15.
The RSSI threshold for the 2.4 GHz band functions in the following
way:
• If the RSSI of the wireless client is less than the minimum RSSI
th
re
shold for the 2.4 GHz band, the wireless client connects to the
2.4 GHz band and is not forced into the 5 GHz band.
• If the RSSI of the wireless client is equal to or more than the
minimum
RSSI threshold for the 2.4 GHz band, the wireless client
can be forced into the 5 GHz band. Whether the wireless client is
actuall
y forced into the 5 GHz band also depends on the minimum
RSSI threshold for the 5 GHz band.
Rssi Threshold 5GHz
Note: This setting does not apply
to th
e 802.11
a/na modes.
Enter the minimum RSSI threshold that a wireless client needs to have
to
connect to the 5 GHz radio. The default is 15.
The RSSI threshold for the 5 GHz band functions in the following way:
• If the RSSI of the wireless client is less than the minimum RSSI
th
re
shold for the 5 GHz band, the wireless client connects to the
2.4 GHz band and is not forced into the 5 GHz band.
• If the RSSI of the wireless client is equal to or more than the
minimum RSSI
threshold for the 5 GHz band, the wireless client
can be forced into the 5 GHz band. Whether the wireless client is
actuall
y forced into the 5 GHz band also depends on the minimum
RSSI threshold for the 2.4 GHz band.
