4.3 Load Balancing

When your AP becomes overloaded, there are two basic responses it can take. The first one is to “delay” a client connection by withholding the connection until the data transfer throughput is lowered or the client connection is picked up by another AP. (If the client isn’t picked up after a set period of time, the AP allows it to connect regardless.) The second response is to kick the connections until the AP is no longer considered overloaded. Both of these tactics are known as ‘load balancing’.

This tutorial shows you how to configure the NWA3000-N series AP’s load balancing feature.
