Balancing
Select this radio button to enforce a client load balance distribution on this WLAN. This
setting is disabled by default.
Loads are balanced by ignoring association and probe requests. Probes and association
requests are not responded to, forcing a client to associate with another access point.
Band Discovery Interval Define a value in either Seconds (0 - 10,000), Minutes (0 -166) or Hours (0 -2) the access
point uses to discover a client’s band capabilities before associating. The default is 10
seconds.
Capability Ageout Time Define a value in either Seconds (0 - 10,000), Minutes (0 -166) or Hours (0 -2) to ageout a
client’s capabilities from the access point’s internal table. The default is 1 hour.
