Device Name: Enter a name for the device. The name you type appears in SNMP management. This name is not the SSID and is not broadcast to other devices.
Band Steering: Enable Band Steering to send 802.11n clients to the 5 GHz band, where 802.11b/g clients cannot go, and leave 802.11b/g clients in 2.4GHz to
operate at their slower rates. Before implementing this feature, we suggest you to assure the both 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSID, as well as security settings must be the
same. EnGenius Band Steering supports following advanced settings,
*Force 5GHz: When band steering is configured to Force 5GHz mode, the AP will not dual band capable client devices to network to the 2.4GHz band only if the
client devices are not currently associated on 2.4GHz radio in this AP.
