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 effectively, 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 differs 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.
