I think the answer is already there... For band steering to be effective, your 5Ghz deployment needs to be at an appropriate density. If you're AP placement was designed for coverage in 2.4Ghz, then there may be many gaps in the 5GHz space. Clients who then operated AOK in 2.4Ghz may now be in l

While this isn't the most elegant of solutions; perhaps this situation is much like in years past where the lower data rates were turned off in order to improve roaming, would it be possible to disable some of the lower data rates on the 5Ghz range and possibly help with the client choosing 2.4

Mark, Enabling band steering results in about 8 association requests from a 5GHz-capable client to a 2.4Ghz radio being rejected. Since you had that enabled but 5GHz coverage was poor, it seems explainable why the mac had difficulty connecting. In one of these problem areas, you can run this co

We run Meru and no band steering but this may help. We have Mac clients that will connect to an AP that is definitely not the best AP to connect to. I think that there may be some sort of caching of network access that Mac is doing to try and speed up connections some how like it is doing with

Mark, Sounds Familiar... We have AP-125., n+1 architecture, running 5GHz in HT, 2.4 in HT but not channel bonding. We have enabled spectrum load balancing and disabled band steering. Seems to work fine. Philippe Hanset Univ. of TN On Sep 15, 2010, at 10:18 PM, Mark H. Wehrle wrote: Hi all,
