Select the SBC strategy from the drop-down menu to determine how band steering is conducted.

Band steering directs 5 GHz-capable clients to that band. When an Access Point hears a
request from a client to associate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it knows the
client is capable of operation in 5 GHz. Band steering steers the client by responding only
to the 5 GHz association request and not the 2.4 GHz request. The client only associates
in the 5 GHz band.
