Putting 2.4 and 5 onthe same SSID is a recipe for sadness. OSX does very poorly at deciding which band it should be on, and 2.4 is largely useless in most of SF

Putting 2.4 and 5 onthe same SSID is a recipe for sadness. OSX does very poorly at deciding which band it should be on, and 2.4 is largely useless in most of SF. OSX also tends to be pretty sticky. The worst is that it uses RSSI as its metric rather than SNR.
- sbradford26 8y agoI know that at least with my Ubiquiti access points I simply set them to prefer 5G and they will move clients over to that. I have had limited issues with roaming and such with that enabled.
- basch 8y agoThe recommended setting for Band Steering is Balanced I believe. Probably depends on how many clients are connecting.
- kalleboo 8y agoYeah what I've done (at home) is use separate SSIDs, everything connects to 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz is only for legacy devices without 5 GHz support.
