Chapter 7 Wireless Figure 58 Network Setting > Wireless > Channel Status 7.9 MESH Use this screen to enable or disable AP steering and band steering. • AP steering allows wireless clients to roam seamlessly between supported devices in your network by using the same SSID and WiFi password. Also, AP steering helps monitor wireless clients and drop their connections to optimize the Zyxel Device bandwidth when the clients are idle or have a low signal. When a wireless client is dropped, it has the opportunity to steer to a supported device with a strong signal. • Band steering allows 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band wireless clients to steer from one band to another. For example, if the 2.4GHz channel is congested/lower signal strength, wireless clients that support 5GHz could be moved to the 5GHz channel. The wireless client can also return to the 2.4GHz channel. The Zyxel Device acts as a controller to manage and coordinate wireless activity in a network, such as: • AP steering • Band steering • Management of SSIDs and password on all APs in a network For example, if you change the SSID on a router, all the SSIDs of APs in a network will be changed as well.
