Load Balancing

Load balancing allows the wireless management system to distribute access point clients

equally among access points. These settings are applied only to managed NETGEAR

ProSafe access points that support load balancing. See Controller Features and Access

Point Compatibility on page 63 for more information about which access points models

support this feature.

You can set up basic load balancing for managed access points or advanced load balancing

for access point groups.

• Apply to all groups: Select this check box to apply the settings to all managed access

points regardless of group.

supported by the access point.

• Max Clients per Radio: The maximum number of wireless clients that can connect to

each radio of the access point at one time. You can select MAX to allow the maximum
