FortiAP 221C Frequency Handoff

I've read everything I can find online, but don't understand the Frequency Handoff option on the FortiAP units.I have two Frequency Handoff check boxes - one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz.  If I want to steer clients towards the 5GHz band, then which check box do I check?  Do I check both?  I don't want to push clients down to the 2.4GHz.

 

Please advise.

Much appreciated,

John

    Frequency handoff will only steer clients towards 5GHz... but you need to make sure both boxes are checked. It's a bit confusing.

    Take a look at this.  This is the most detail I've been able to obtain.  The tech support guys are really helpful and can assist.
