I am unsure what others have suggested.  I presume by “band steering”
they are referring to auto-switching between 2.4G and 5Ghz bands
depending on connection conditions.  If that is the case, disabling band
steering tends to adversely affect newer clients, preventing them from
negotiating up and down on the bands as they roam.  It may help an old
Squeezebox, but at a very high price to other much higher bandwidth
demanding clients.  I would resist that solution if you have such mixed
clients.

In your situation, if binding is not as option, you might want to try an
N band AP set up in repeater mode, but with a distinctive SSID.  For
instance, the EX2700 mentioned above, connected to your network (either
wirelessly, or by Ethernet), and accessible as a separate AP as
“yournetwork.LMS” or whatever.  And then have the Radio connect just to
that N protocol AP.  That is ‘binding’ of a different form, but it
completely segregates the Radio from the primary wireless AP
architecture (and all its problems).

These SB clients use very little bandwidth by today’s standards, so even
an N repeater with wireless up and down links should still get plenty of
data to them.
