Manage the maximum number of clients for
a radio
The number of clients that are allowed to associate with a radio affects the reliability
and throughput of the WiFi connection. A smaller number can increase the reliability
and throughput and a large number can decrease the reliability and throughput.
By default, the 2.4 GHz and 6 GHz radios each allow up to 128 client associations, while
the 5 GHz radio allows up to 200 client associations. You can specify a lower number
of clients. If the number of associated clients exceeds the maximum number that you
specify, the radio rejects new client associations until the number drops below that
maximum number.

Features
Description
By default, the MU-MIMO Enable radio button is selected and multiuser MIMO
(MU-MIMO) is enabled. To disable MU-MIMO, select the MU-MIMO Disable radio
button.
MU-MIMO enables multiple users to receive data from the access point simultaneously
using the same channel. With MU-MIMO, the access point can transmit to multiple
clients simultaneously using the same channel. MU-MIMO is used in the downstream
direction and requires both the access point and the WiFi clients to be capable of
802.11ac Wave 2 or 802.11ax.
Select the 802.11h Enable radio button to enable 802.11h-capable WiFi clients to
automatically switch to a new channel without disconnecting from the access point
and without losing any data when the access point changes to another channel. By
default, the 802.11h Disable radio button is selected and 802.11h is disabled.
You can enable or disable 802.11h for the 5 GHz and 6 GHz radios but not for the
2.4 GHz radio.
