• RSSI Threshold for client devices which support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz -

Pre-association Band steering:

a. When RSSI of client probe request received by AP/Gateway in 2.4GHz band is more than the threshold, then AP blocks the 2.4GHz band for the client and informs client to probe request to 5GHz.

...

c. Sometimes client devices continues to probe request to 2.4GHz though AP blocks its response, in this case, after blocking a considerable number of times during a time period, AP enters backs off period and allows client to connect to 2.4GHz. For this period, AP does not try to steer the client to 5GHz again.

Post-association Band Steering:

a. Client has associated with a non-preferred band, RSSI is checked if it is above threshold. If it is above threshold, client is disassociated from the band and Steered to preferred band using Pre-association procedure.
