When you run Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS) with DCS Client Aware enabled, the APs can make smarter decisions about channel selection, taking into account the presence and performance of connected clients.

Here’s a breakdown of what happens:

  1. Minimized Client Disruption:
    • DCS Client Aware ensures that the channel switching process causes minimal disruption to connected clients. It considers client activity and avoids changing channels when there is clients connect the AP, only take action on those APs doesn’t have client.
  2. Improved Client Experience:
    • With client-aware DCS, clients experience fewer connection drops and better performance. The APs adapt to real-time network conditions, ensuring a smoother and more reliable connection.
