It's typically easiest to have make the Band Steering a function of the wireless infrastructure instead. Most modern wireless infrastructures, HP, Aruba, Cisco, etc. all have Band Steering capabilities which you can tie to the SSIDs that are broadcasted, etc.
Not sure if that's even possible from a GPO standpoint as GPO stuff is typically just registry tweaks. And I'm not sure, even if you manually adjust that setting on the wireless NIC itself, if that actually makes a registry change or if it's done at some deeper driver level. ? ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of David Lum [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 4:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] GPO to set preferred wireless to 5GHz Do any of you guys configure your wireless via GPO? If yes, do you also set the preference to 5GHz (assuming you have systems that go both ways, so to speak). I am able to configure the basic wireless settings, but I’d like a way to set the preferred to 5GHz via GPO.
