The Load Balancing Screen - ZyXEL Communications NWA-3160 - V3.70 Manual

The requirements for load balancing are fairly straight forward and should be
met in order for a group of similar NWAs to take advantage of the feature:
• They should all be within the same subnet.
• They should all have the same SSID, radio mode, and security mode.
• There should be a minimum of 2 NWAs within the same broadcast radius, or at
the very least within an overlapping broadcast radius.

• Medium - Up to 13 Mbps before it becomes overloaded.
• High - Up to 20 Mbps before it becomes overloaded.
