Stand alone AP (ZF7372) and band-balancing

I have a ZF7372 running 9.8.1.0.101 and trying to find out how to enable band-balancing via its CLI. I am not running the AP with a ZD as it is a stand alone device. I see the CLI for band-balancing but am not sure how to enable or configure it. I have both the 2.4 & 5Ghz radios running the same SSID's and security settings. Below are you readouts when I look at the band-balancing settings.

Can someone tell me how the commands work and/or the correct settings to move dual band clients over to the 5Ghz radio.

rkscli: get band-balancing
Band Balancing:
Under Mesh AP : Off

rkscli: get band-balancing wlan0
Band Balancing:
wlan0: Disable
Rssi Threshold limit: wlan0, 20
Band Bal limit: wifi0, 0
MinStaThreshold limit: AP, 10
Under Mesh AP : Off

rkscli: get band-balancing wlan8
Band Balancing:
wlan8: Disable
Rssi Threshold limit: wlan8, 20
Band Bal limit: wifi1, 0
MinStaThreshold limit: AP, 10
Under Mesh AP : Off

rkscli: set band-balancing
parameter error
Usage: set band-balancing {options}
-- {|all}
-- mesh-ap {enable|disable}

This is getting more confusing.  I have a 7372 running 100.0.0.128 now and don't even see the CLI commands for the band-steering.  I have looked at every command in the CLI and don't see anything about band-steering. 


I don't want band-balancing on as I want everyone that can go to 5GHz that can do so.  I have set what I think is the correct band-steering setting ( withholding-limit wifi# ) to 15 for wifi0 & 1 for wifi1.  From what I have read on this post and you link this should withhold responses on the 2.4GHz.

Can you please tell me what I am missing?


This is what I am getting from my AP:


rkscli: get  band-steering-rssi-thresh wlan0
Command is not recognized: get  band-steering-rssi-thresh wlan0
