When set too low (e.g., -100 dBm):

Clients moving away from the AP may remain connected to that AP despite a nearby AP having a better signal.

When set too high (e.g., -59 dBm):

The AP may disconnect a client even if there is no nearby AP with a better signal, leading to potential connectivity issues.

Path to configure Smart Steering:
Site-wide > Configure > Access points > Radio setting
