A method comprising:

• receiving, at a wireless station, a connection request from a first client station to connect to the wireless station, the wireless station operating in a multi-band frequency, the multi-band frequency including a first frequency band which is split into a first sub-band and a second sub-band, the first sub band and the second sub-band being distinct frequency ranges within the first frequency band;
• determining, by the wireless station, whether to assign the first client station to the first sub band or the second sub-band based on a type of an application executing on the first client station;
• and
• assigning, by the wireless station, the first client station to the first sub band in an event the application is of a first type or to the second sub-band if the application is of a second type, the first type including applications whose maximum acceptable delay in receiving or transmitting data is below a specified threshold, the second type including applications whose maximum acceptable delay in receiving or transmitting data exceeds the specified threshold.
