NETGEAR WAX610 - Page 203

The WAX610 access point provides the option to force sticky clients to disassociate
from its radios.
If load balancing based on the RSSI of the client is enabled (see Manage load balancing
for the radios on page 200), after a client is forced to disassociate, the client can join
again in the following situations:
•
The client can associate again if its RSSI is equal to or higher than the minimum
required RSSI.
•
If the client persistently tries to associate with the access point, the access point
grants access to that client, even if its RSSI is below minimum required RSSI.
To manage sticky clients:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 37.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 22.
The Dashboard page displays.
4.
Select Management > Configuration > Wireless > Advanced > Load Balancing.
The Load Balancing page displays.
5. Either select or clear the Force Sticky Clients To Disassociate check box.
Selecting the check box forces sticky clients to disassociate from a radio. Clearing
the check box allows stocky clients to remain associated with a radio.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
