Attach Priority

If the access point is operating with Master Mode disabled, the attach priority of the access point can be specified. Stations in the coverage area of two access points with different attach priorities normally attach to the higher priority access point. However, attach priority is used in combination with other factors such as loading and signal strength, and a station may attach to a lower priority access point that provides a better wireless link. Stations ignore the attach priority when selecting between two access points with the same attach priority.

Attach Priority is useful when it is desirable to have a redundant network with some access points serving as standby units. If the higher priority unit fails, stations fall back to the lower priority unit within the same coverage area.

Attach Priority settings are:

		High
		Medium
		Low
	Setting	Description
	High	High priority access point.
	(default)
	Medium	Medium priority access point.
	Low	Low priority access point.
