I believe in allowing the client to make the decision. Even with limiting the suppressed probe responses or deauthing; there can be times when a client could experience issues.
We allow 12, mandatory 18. Limit the transmit power on both radios. The issue I see with many sticky clients are that they look at RSSI and not retry, by lowering the power of your radio you are coaxing them with their natural mechanism. I would be interested in how your testing is going and the procedures you are using. Since I see behaviors change so often between devices and drivers I have a hard time trusting the testing I do with what gear I have.

We have disabled 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 on 2.5GHz. Just started toying a little disabling 6 and 9 on 2.5 and 5GHz. thanks! jim On 11/20/2015 2:07 PM, Chris Adams (IT) wrote: We have typically achieved this by disabling lower data rates available per SSID.

This feature was just introduced and we have a lot of "sticky" clients that don't like to roam even though there are more desirable AP's in the area. I have enabled it on a handful of AP's for testing, but would like to hear what others have experienced. Thanks -- Jeremy L.
