Enable Band Steering

System > Band Steer
In the office, the 2.4GHz is always crowded than 5GHz. There are fewer non-overlapping
channels and more legacy devices in 2.4GHz compare to the 5GHz band. The TEW-
753DAP is equipped with 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless interfaces. When your client device
can work on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless, Band Steer will choose 5GHz as primary
band over 2.4GHz. Traffic will mainly stays on 5GHz in stead of 2.4GHz. To setup band
steer, you have to setup the same SSIDs on both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz interfaces.
To enable Band Steering, do the following:
1
Log into your access point management page (refer to
on page 10).
2
Click System > Band Steer.


3
Check Enable option to allow band steering.
