Band Steering
5GHz Maximum
Connection Threshold
Specify the maximum number of clients that are allowed to connect to the 5GHz
band. When the client number meets the 5GHz maximum connection threshold
and difference threshold, the AP will prevent more APs from connecting to the
5GHz band.
Difference Threshold
Specify the maximum difference value between the number of clients
connected to the 5GHz band and the number connected to the 2.4GHz band.
When the client connections meet the 5GHz maximum connection threshold
and the difference threshold, the AP will prevent more APs from connecting to
the 5GHZ band.
Maximum Failure
Number
Specify the maximum number of failed connection attempts of the client.
If the clients continuously request to connect to the 5GHz band and the number
of failed attempts exceeds the specified number, the CAP will accept the
connection request.

5.4 Wi-Fi Roaming
Wi-Fi roaming is a technology that keeps a station connected to the network while the
station is moving from one Access Point to another.
For example, a client can walk through a facility while carrying on a conversation over a Wi-
Fi phone. The Wi-Fi radio inside the phone automatically roams from one access point to
another as needed to provide seamless connectivity.
