Load Balancing
Setting
Enable Load
Balancing
Select this to enable load balancing on the Zyxel Device.
Use this section to configure wireless network traffic load balancing between the managed
APs in this group.
Note: Load balancing is not supported on the radio which is working in root AP or
repeater AP mode.
Mode Select a mode by which load balancing is carried out.
Select By Station Number to balance network traffic based on the number of specified
stations connected to an AP.
Select By Traffic Level to balance network traffic based on the volume generated by the
stations connected to an AP.
Select By Smart Classroom to balance network traffic based on the number of specified
stations connected to an AP. The AP ignores association request and authentication
request packets from any new station when the maximum number of stations is reached.
If you select By Station Number or By Traffic Level, once the threshold is crossed (either the
maximum station numbers or with network traffic), the AP delays association request and
authentication request packets from any new station that attempts to make a connection.
This allows the station to automatically attempt to connect to another, less burdened AP if
one is available.
