Band Steering

Is Band Steering Implemented (i.e. is the AP favoring 5GHz over 2.4GHz), knowing its preference is useful from a trouble shooting point of view. However it can be problematic, being able to change the preference or disable it can be useful.

I am aware that client preference can override the preference of the AP. I have a small number of clients that only support 2.4GHz hence the need to have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz active, however it appears that a couple clients are connecting at 2.4GHz when I expected them to connect at 5GHz.

    I just bought an AP55 and all of my devices are defaulting to 2.4ghz and some of the 'dumb' devices do not have the ability to set a preferred band.

     

    Using an XG115 I should add. no cloud controller

     

    I rather not have 2 SSIDs...

     

    (i always wondered about this at my client sites but checked a few and confirmed they all have issues as well.)
