When starting or restarting an access point with a 5-GHz DFS radio module and WLAN band steering activated, it cannot detect any dual-band capable WLAN clients during the DFS scan. As a result, the access point cannot direct a WLAN client to a preferred 5-GHz band. Instead, the 2.4-GHz radio module would answer the client request and forward it to the 2.4-GHz band.
By setting an initial block time, the radio module that is configured to 2.4-GHz only starts after the specified delay.
Note: Registration of a purely 2.4-GHz WLAN client also occurs after this delay time. If no 5-GHz WLAN clients are present in the network, the delay time should be set to 0 seconds.
