Configure Load Balancing

You can set network utilization thresholds on the access point to maintain the speed and
performance of the WiFi network as clients associate with and disassociate from the access
point. The load balancing settings apply to both radios.
As an option, you can specify the percentage of network bandwidth utilization that is allowed
on a radio before the access point stops accepting new client associations. Whether client
associations are allowed depends on the specified percentage and the WLAN utilization of
the radio:
• New client associations are allowed if the radio's WLAN utilization is lower than the
specified percentage of network bandwidth utilization.
• New client associations are prevented if the radio's WLAN utilization is higher than the
specified percentage of network bandwidth utilization.
For more information about the WLAN utilization, see
page 73.
