Enabling Wi-Fi
Band Steering
/system/show wifi-band-steering
/system/set wifi-band-steering {enabled | disabled}
Wi-Fi band steering applies to dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) wireless clients.
If enabled, the AP attempts to direct any dual-band Wi-Fi clients it detects to
use the 5 GHz radio.
Note: Band steering may not always be successful depending on operational
conditions. In such cases, the dual-band client decides whether to use
the 5 GHz radio or the 2.4 GHz radio.
To configure the AP for dual-band wireless clients, you must configure two
identical SSIDs: one for the 2.4 GHz and one for the 5 GHz radio. All settings
must be the same. Refer to “Configuring SSIDs” on page 134.
The default setting is
enabled
.
Limiting
Broadcast Packets
/system/show broadcast-filter config
/system/set broadcast-filter rate <brcst_filter_rate>
/system/set broadcast-filter status {enable|disable}
In a BelAir Networks network, each AP limits the rate at which broadcast
packets are sent. The
show broadcast-filter
command displays the current
broadcast rate.
Note: If you reset the AP to its factory defaults, the
show broadcast-filter
command may display a status of
Enabled
and a rate of 0. In such cases,
the feature is actually disabled.
The
set broadcast-filter rate
command lets you set the maximum rate at which
broadcast packets are sent in packets/second. The <brcst_filter_rate>
parameter ranges from 100 to 1000. The default setting is 200.
Use the
set broadcast-filter status
command to disable broadcast packet
filtering.
