are not responded to, forcing a client to associate with another access point.
Band Discovery Interval Define a value in either Seconds (0 - 10,000), Minutes (0 -166) or Hours (0 -2) the access point
uses to discover a client’s band capabilities before associating. The default is 10 seconds.

capabilities from the access point’s internal table. The default is 1 hour.
