usteer-ng is a client steering daemon written for OpenWrt and the a fork of the famous usteer steering deamon.

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

• 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
• Band steering to higher bands if possible
• Using different level of aggressiveness

usteer-ng is available from the OpenWrt packages feed and can be installed on devices running OpenWrt 21.02+ using opkg. Usteer-ng is conflicting to Usteer as it actually based on the same code. Also it does not make sense to have two Wifi controllers installed.

opkg update; opkg install usteer-ng

usteer-ng is fully managed in Github. Please contribute via Pull-Requests to the "development" branch.
