I also notice there is a band_steering_threshold does not take effect unless load_balancing_threshold is also set to a value greater than 0. in the usteer page.

Fantastic.
Did you change any of the default settings? You must have set your SSID at a minimum I think?

The usteer package is installed by default on most profiles, others will need to install it.

All have the WAN port disabled and set bridged to LAN. All three Gargoyle routers are set to AP mode, and have ...

Band steering is good to small apartment layout. You don't really need to deploy mesh routers in such scenario.

A page regarding "Setting up usteer and band-steering in OpenWrt" is seen on official OpenWrt. We are supposed to be band steering configurable with OpenWrt 21.02.x.
