Abstract

A method for proactive steering of client devices in a wireless network includes identifying, by a network controller, at least two radio resources in a wireless network including a first radio resource and a second radio resource; detecting, by the network controller, a client device connected to the wireless network via an established communication channel with the first radio resource; determining, by the network controller, that the client device is technically capable of establishing a communication channel with the second radio resource; and steering, by the network controller, the client device to establish the communication channel with the second radio resource.
