AP-Steering-RSSI-Threshold

The signal strength in dBm that a client must have on a remote access point in order to be directed to it by Client Management.

A higher signal threshold reduces the number of potentially steerable clients, thus limiting the options available to the Client Management. At the same time this would be useful in environments with high quality demands, for example where VoIP is heavily used. This requires very good signal coverage and a higher density of access points.

A lower signal threshold increases the number of potentially steerable clients, although there is a risk that clients could be assigned to access points with a poor signal quality. Clients may even refuse to be steered to an access point with a poorer signal quality. This is a help in environments with coverage over a large area. Values below -80 dBm produce poor results, as the likelihood increases that clients cannot connect to the access points they are being steered to.

The default value is ideal for office environments.
