radio when the RSSI value of these client devices on 5GHz radio is more than set one. The allowed RSSI value for default setting is
-75dBm.
*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.
*Band Balance
: When band steering is configured to Band Balance mode, the AP will steer dual band capable client devices to 5GHz
when the RSSI value of these client devices on 5GHz radio is more than set one. To evenly allocate RF resource on the both 2.4GHz
