   Enable AFC 7.0 Patch 1	The Enable AFC function acts as a communication agent between the controller and the AP. RUCKUS APs supporting the 6GHz band require AFC support to switch to Standard Power Mode. The Enable AFC button can be toggled when the country of the zone supports AFC. If AFC is enabled, the AP would send an AFC request to acquire permission to turn to standard power in the 6GHz band. If AFC permission is granted, then the AP could switch to Standard Power mode. Otherwise, indoor APs should remain in Low Power Mode, and outdoor APs will turn off the 6GHz band. Refer to the Enabling Automated Frequency Coordination from SmartZone for a comprehensive understanding of this feature.	For the newly created zone, AFC will be enabled by default if the country permits it. For an existing zone, the Enable AFC feature will be disabled. You will need to manually select it.

Proactive: This is a dynamic form of band balancing where some selected associated clients are rebalanced on the AP or across APs utilizing the 802.11v BTM. The AP sends a BTM message to the client to roam and it is left to the client's discretion to make its roaming decision. Strict: This is an aggressive form of balancing where some selected associated clients are forced to rebalance utilizing the 802.11v BTM. The AP sends a BTM message to the client to roam.

Sticky Client Steering: Some client devices connect to an AP and stay connected to the same servicing AP, and does not change its association to the closer APs. These clients are referred as sticky clients. These clients may experience degradation in service because of lower throughput resulting in poor user experience. The purpose of the sticky client steering functionality is to identify these clients and assist in transition to a better AP. Click on the toggle button to enable the options.
