How to make laptop connect to the AC mode?

Roaming (and band selection is a subset of roaming) is an almost entirely client-controlled feature. Ruckus supports "intelligent band steering" that attempts to direct 5GHz capable clients towards 5GHz, but if a client absolutely insists on 2.4GHz, the AP's will still allow them on, otherwise the clients will simply just stay disconnected.

The most bulletproof workaround for this is to create a separate 5GHz SSID and a combo 2.4+5GHz ID, so you can forcibly select the 5GHz one when you know the client is in a good spot for it.


Note that 5GHz has a much more difficult time penetrating walls and other solid objects compared to 2.4GHz, so if you're a bit too far from your access point, 2.4GHz may actually be the appropriate choice.

andrey,

802.11 AC is only on 5ghz and if your laptops supports only 2.4ghz then you can't get 802.11ac speeds on the laptop...

I tried to create a new password for 5G (AC) can not figure out the settings of the controller.
In the old firmware it was simple.

Help me please
