When starting or restarting an access point with a 5 GHz DFS radio module and WLAN band steering activated, it cannot detect any dual-band capable WLAN clients during the DFS scan. As a result, the access point cannot direct a WLAN client to a preferred 5 GHz band. Instead, the 2.4 GHz radio module would answer the client request and forward it to the 2.4 GHz band.
By setting an initial block time, the radio module that is configured to 2.4 GHz only starts after the specified delay.
Note: Registration of a purely 2.4 GHz WLAN client also occurs after this delay time. If no 5 GHz WLAN clients are present in the network, the delay time should be set to 0 seconds.
