AFAIK automatic band steering is done by the Router (the client has no choice) and it looks like Fritzbox Router clears the WiFi connection before switching bands if the client does not support "seamless steering" i.e. 802.11k, r or v standards. https://en.avm.de/service/knowledge-base...s-it-work/
I think you can disable band steering on a Router by assigning different SSID's to the 2.4 and 5G bands or there may be an explicit option to turn it off.
I'm not sure which if any of the Raspberry Pi's support 802.11k/r/v (seamless steering) but in any case it would be part of the Broadcom firmware for the WiFi chipset and maybe there are some config options or hacks?
ETA: or maybe a config to wpa_supplicant.conf as @TheOldPresbyope mentioned.
