Future Enhancements

...

  • Band Steering feature is limited only to dual/tri band radio capable devices.
  • Steering of 5 GHz capable wireless clients can be done only when SSID and security parameters are same for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Future Enhancements

  • Band Steering status should be retained even after reboot. Currently, this is not yet implemented.
  • Steering of Clients are based on Utilization threshold, RSSI threshold. These use cases need to be implemented.
