# usteer

usteer is a client steering daemon written for OpenWrt.

Its goal is to optimize roaming behavior of wireless clients (STAs) in a ESS consisting of multiple BSS / APs.

## Functions

 - Synchronization of Neighbor Reports between multiple APs
 - Policy-based decisions for probe- / association- / authentication requests received from STAs
 - Requesting clients to roam to a different BSS based on SNR / signal-level
 - Channel-load based client steering to different BSS

## Installation

usteer is available from the OpenWrt packages feed and can be installed on devices running OpenWrt 21.02+ using opkg:

```
opkg update; opkg install usteer
```
