Advanced
The Advanced screen allows you to enable or disable load balancing and to
control bandwidth.
Load balancing is enabled by default. The load balancing feature balances the
wireless clients between APs. If two APs with similar settings are in a conference
room, depending on the location of the APs, all wireless clients could potentially
associate with the same AP, leaving the other AP unused. Load balancing at-
tempts to evenly distribute the wireless clients on both APs.
If enabled, the Bandwidth Control function works by limiting the maximum
bandwidth a single client is allowed to have. For example, if the total bandwidth
for the AP/WLAN is 4 Mbps and bandwidth control is set to 500 kbps or 0.5
Mbps, the network can only serve a maximum of 0.5 mbps per client. Even if
only one client is on the network, a maximum of 0.5 Mbps will be allowed. If, on
the other hand, the BW Control is set to a higher number (say 3 Mbps), a single
client can take up to 3 Mbps of bandwidth when it requires while the other cli-
ents will share the remaining bandwidth. The decision as to who gets the 3 Mbps
and who gets the remainder depends on the requirement and when the require-
ment is acknowledged. This function can be disabled and the available band-
width will be portioned out as required. If total bandwidth required exceeds the
available bandwidth, the client last in line will get only the remaining bandwidth
available.
