I've tried the band steering option on my AP, but my network card would rather 
connect to the 2.4 GHz channel anyhow. It seems to worth signal level very 
much, and the 5 GHz signal is usually weaker than 2.4. Therefore I made do 
with weakening the 2.4 GHz signal. 

Funnily enough other clients (two android devices and a windows laptop) prefer 
5 GHz even when it's weaker and my linux laptop connects to 2.4.
