Ruckus R500 firmware v100.1.0.0.194 has no set/get band-steering option?

unknown

I've got a lone R500 I'm trying to configure band-steering on but with the latest firmware there is no set/get band-balancing from CLI.

If I downgrade to 9.8, there is a set/get band-balancing from CLI, but no matter what I set the 2.4 or 5 radio RSSI to via set band-steering wlanX my iPhone 6 always prefers the 2.4 band. (same for other wifi clients)

I have a ticket on this, though I can't see it in my support portal for some reason.

Without clear troubleshooting to say it's not your client, you can try using published details on band-steering options.  I can say however, that the band-steering in 9.8 standalone AP code did not have all commands implemented correctly (ER-2078).

Here's the command syntax that should work:

rkscli: set band-balancing

parameter error

Usage: set band-balancing {options}

                  -- {|all} {enable|disable}

                  -- {|all} rssi

                  -- percent

                  -- minsta

                  -- mesh-ap {enable|disable}

rkscli: set band-balancing wlan9 enable

OK

rkscli: get band-banlancing wlan9

Command is not recognized: get band-banlancing wlan9

rkscli: get band-balancing wlan9

Band Balancing:

         wlan9:  Enable

         RSSI Threshold: wlan9, 20

         Band Balancing Percent: wifi1, 0

         MinSta Threshold: AP, 10

         Under Mesh AP : Off

OK
