Load Balancing settings apply to the AP load as a whole. When Guest access is
enabled, the settings apply to both Internal and Guest networks together.
On a two-radio access point, Load Balancing settings apply to both radios but the
load of each radio is calculated independently and includes both the Internal and
Guest network (when Guest access is enabled).

Description
To enable load balancing on this access point, click Enable.
To disable load balancing on this access point, click Disable.
Utilization rate limits relate to wireless bandwidth utilization.
Provide a bandwidth utilization rate percentage limit for this access point to indicate when to stop
accepting new client associations.
When the utilization rate for this access point exceeds the specified limit, no new client associations will
be allowed on this access point.
If you specify 0 in this field, all new associations will be allowed regardless of the utilization rate.
Utilization rate limits relate to wireless bandwidth utilization.
Provide a bandwidth utilization rate percentage limit for this access point to indicate when to disassoci-
ate current clients.
When the utilization rate exceeds the specified limit, a client currently associated with this access point
will be disconnected.
If you specify 0 in this field, current clients will never be disconnected regardless of the utilization rate.
Specify the number of client stations you want as a "stations threshold" for disassociation. If the number
of client stations associated with the AP at any one time is equal to or less than the number you specify
here, no stations will be disassociated regardless of the Utilization for Disassociation value.
Theoretically, the maximum number of client stations allowed is 2007.
We recommend setting the maximum to between 30 and 50 client stations. This allows for a
workable load on the access point, given that bandwidth is shared among the AP clients.
