Try to force clients to use 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz #67

There are ways (I do not know them yet) to force clients to use 5 GHZ. We should try to get them to us as much 5 GHz as possible.

Definitely, I know android tends to prefer 2.4. I see a few networks make two access points, one for 2.4 and one for 5. I'm curious about the advantages/disadvantages to this approach

This is called "band steering" otherwise. You can see here under "comming soon".

Done by creating two SSIDs, Cloyne on 5 GHz and CloyneSlow on 2.4 GHz.
