Configuring Radio Groups for client Load Balancing

In order to do client load balancing, radios must be grouped. Usually, two radios with similar
characteristics and geographically close to each other can be grouped together.
By default, a radio is not in any group and the load balancing algorithm would not apply to it.
To configure a group of radios together:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the main menu tree.
2. Go to the Configuration tab.
3. Select a radio you wish to add to a group and click the Edit button.
4. Enter the Group ID for the group you wish to add the selected radio to.
5. Click OK to save the changes.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each radio you wish to add to groups.
