How to configure WAC510 to prefer 5.0 Ghz band over 2.4 ghz band
my devices are connecting to the 2.4 Ghz band when the faster 5.0 band is available. Is there a way to configure the WAPs to prefer the faster 5.0 ghz band?
Hi Pugfom,
You can enable the Bandsteering feature on your WAC510, which steers the Wireless devices (Dual band Capable) to the 5 Ghz band.
To configure this from Web UI,
Login > Management > Confgiuration > Wireless (Basic) > WLAN Settings > Under preferred SSID#Do check for the attachment for reference, hope this helps.
Please note :
Band Steering largely depends on the Wireless environment aroud like (Interference, Congestion etc)Thanks,
