802.11n client distribution across 2.4 and 5.0 radios?

rcoote5902_2 — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 02:57:09 GMT

What is the recommended way to ensure 802.11n clients are evenly split between 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz frequencies?

We're using 4404 controllers with WCS and Cisco 3502i AP's.

Thanks,

Rob

The "best" way is to configure the clients to associate to the correct radio of your choice. Doing this will cause issues in the near future. For example, you have configured a client to associate to the "a" radio. However, if the client goes beyond the "a" radio range ...

The "easiest" way is to let the client/wireless NIC make the decision themselves.

On the WGB configuration I know the WGB uses "Load" as part of its decision on whether or not to associate with a certain AP.

I am guessing the client has the same ability as well.
