Band steering function
By enabling band steering, the TG789vacv2 will try to move as much clients as possible to the less congested 5 GHz
frequency band. Dual-band clients that are connected to the 2.4 GHz will automatically be steered to the 5 GHz provided
that the 5 GHz signal quality is good enough. This ensures that the already congested 2.4 GHz band is only used when
absolutely necessary.
Impact on the 5 GHz access point settings
When enabling band steering, the TG789vacv2 will change the following settings on the 5 GHz access point to match those
of the 2.4 GHz access point:
• The network name (SSID)
• The security mode and wireless password
This implies that you will have to re-connect all clients that were connected to the 5 GHz access point.
Changing the band steering thresholds
To decide whether a client connected on the 2.4 GHz band should move to the 5 GHz band the TG789vacv2 will execute
the following checks.
1 Does the client have a 5 GHz interface?
2 Is the signal strength of the 2.4 GHz greater than the 2.4 GHz threshold (is the client close enough?).
3 Is the signal strength of the 5 GHz greater than the 5 GHz threshold.
If all these requirements are met, then the TG789vacv2 will move the device to the 5 GHz band.
If the TG789vacv2 loses the connection to a client that was steered to the 5 GHz band, it will automatically be
reconnected on the 2.4 GHz band.
Enabling band steering
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the TG789vacv2 web interface.
For more information, see “4.1.1 Accessing the TG789vacv2 web interface from your local network” on page 38.
2 Click Wireless. The Wireless page of the 2.4 GHz access point appears.
3 Under Access Point, click the Band Steering Enabled switch to put it in the position.
4 Click Save.
5 Band steering is now enabled. The 5 GHz access point now uses the same SSID, security mode and wireless password as
the 2.4 GHz access point.
Customizing the thresholds
We recommend that you use the default threshold values (40% for the 2.4 GHz band steering and 80% for the 5 GHz band
steering), but if you want to change them you can proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the TG789vacv2 web interface.
For more information, see “4.1.1 Accessing the TG789vacv2 web interface from your local network” on page 38.
2 Click Wireless. The Wireless page of the 2.4 GHz access point appears.
3 Move the 2.4 GHz Band Steering slider:
To the right to increase the threshold. The 2.4 GHz signal of the client must be stronger before the 5 GHz connection
test is run.
To the left to decrease the threshold. The 2.4 GHz signal of the client must be less strong before the 5 GHz
