"Band Steering" - one SSID for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz,
If user connects via 2.4 GHz and the connected device supports 5 GHz, band steering will use the faster 5 GHz.
Does Hub 5 support WiFi Band Steering?
TIA

The Sagemcom 3896 which the Hub 5 is based on certainly does have band steering listed in the spec, and VM certainly would not pay to have the underlying capability knobbled, so I'd say the Hub 5 certainly does support band steering.
I suspect that the frequent need to split the SSIDs on the Hub 3 and 4 indicates that the band steering on those models doesn't work anywhere near as well as it should; Whether the Hub 5 is any better I can't say.
