Enable wireless device band steering

EricSchueler

I want to force 5 ghz devices (802.11n) to move off the 2.4 ghz network to free up bandwidth for those who need it as the 5 ghz range has lots of extra bandwidth as compared with the 2.4 ghz bands which are currently crowded.   I've been unable to find a place to configure this in the XG firewall for the APs.

    That could certainly move them all to 5 ghz by shutting down 2.4 ghz completely.  NOT what I'm looking for.

    Specifically I'm looking to move 5 ghz CAPABLE devices onto that network instead of utilizing 2.4 ghz.

    I'm having limited success by turning the 2.4 ghz power down but what I really want is called "device band steering".
