Customizing Sticky Client Steering Settings Per AP

You can customize the Sticky Client Steering settings at the AP level.
Note: Make sure the AP on which you want to configure Sticky Client Steering is upgraded to AP firmware 7.0.0.300 or later versions.
Note: Make sure to enable Load Balancing at the venue level to configure Sticky Client Steering at the AP level.
Complete the following steps to configure the Sticky Client Steering settings on an AP.
  1. On the navigation bar, click Wi-Fi > Access Points > AP List.
    The AP List page is displayed.
  2. Click the name of the AP for which you want to customize the Sticky Client Steering settings, then on the Overview page, click Configure. Alternatively, click the check box for the specific AP name, then click Edit.
    The AP configuration page is displayed, defaulting to the General tab view.
  3. Select the Radio tab.
    By default, the Wi-Fi Radio section is displayed.
  4. From the left mini navigation bar, click the Client Steering sub-tab.

    Configuring Sticky Client Steering Settings on an AP

  5. Click Customize to override the venue-level settings.
  6. Toggle the Sticky Client Steering switch to ON and configure the following values:
    1. SNR Threshold: The Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) threshold is a value that determines the minimum acceptable SNR for a client device to maintain a connection with an AP. Enter a threshold value ranging from 5dB to 30dB. The default value is 15dB.
    2. Neighbor AP: The Neighbor AP % threshold is a value that represents the minimum acceptable percentage of signal strength from neighboring APs compared to the current AP. Enter a threshold value ranging from 10% to 40%. The default value is 20%.
      Enabling this feature assists clients with low SNR in transitioning to a better-performing AP. Note that this function requires load balancing to be enabled at the venue level and will automatically disable the SmartRoam feature on the AP.
  7. Click Apply.
