Band Steering technology became a great value solution and that made it something essential in any router or Wi-Fi repeater which strives to offer a good level of performance in any situation and in any scenario.

In the AVM catalog we find a wide range of routers and repeaters that contain this technology, but are you clear about what it is and why it is so important? If your answer was a silent no, In this article, we will answer this question. and we’ll tell you everything you need to know.

If you have any questions after reading this article you can leave it in the comments and we will help you solve it. Without further ado, let’s get started.

How band control works

It is a technology that automatically redirects the connection of various mobile devices that we have connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, switching between the 5 GHz band and the 2.4 GHz band according to what is most optimal in each specific situation.

So when we are in a suitable range, Band Steering will keep us in the 5 GHz band, but when we start moving away from it and the signal quality starts to be bad automatically switches us to the 2.4 GHz band, which has a greater reach.

We won’t have to worry about anything, because the changes are made automatically and the moment we are back in optimal range will connect us back to the 5 GHz band.

Both the router and the repeaters are compatible with this technology identifies automatically and in real time which is the best band at all times and they will make sure our devices are connected to it depending on each situation.

What advantages does this technology offer?

we can with her take advantage of the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands in real time and without us having to do anything. We will no longer run out of Wi-Fi signal when we move too far from the router or repeater, this technology will automatically move us to the 2.4 GHz band, which has a greater range, and we will also be able to enjoy the higher speed offered by the 5 GHz band when we are in its signal range.

We will have the best of both worlds at our disposal without having to go into complex configurations, because in the case of FRITZ! by AVM the Band Steering is enabled by defaultso once we start using them, we will enjoy all the benefits of this technology.
