Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for steering authorized wireless clients to preferred or restricted wireless networks. In some examples, an access point associated with a preferred wireless network and a non-preferred wireless network can receive one or more probe requests from a wireless client. The access point can withhold a response to the one or more probe requests from the wireless client until a probe response triggering event is detected. In response to detecting the probe response triggering event, the access point can steer the wireless client towards the wireless network by sending, to the wireless client, a first probe response associated with the preferred wireless network and withholding a second probe response associated with the non-preferred wireless network.
