Hello came across with option in site section.

But i dont fully understand how it works.

Clearly it prefers 5ghz over 2.4 if possible?

So if 5ghz is not a reliable connection turns on 2.4 automatically?

Hi, check this FAQ to learn more about this feature.

 

Some wireless clients can only work on 2.4GHz band while dual-band wireless clients can work on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. So if both single-band and dual-band clients are connected to 2.4GHz wireless network, 2.4GHz wireless network will be overloaded while 5GHz wireless network is relatively free. Band steering function can avoid this kind of waste by leading dual-band clients to connect to 5GHz wireless network with higher priority.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

Yes The AP will always try to connect the client to the 5ghz, however if it fails or cannot support 5ghz. Then yes it will drop back to 2.4ghz
