Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 Manage load balancing for the radios You can configure the radio utilization thresholds to enable each radio to maintain the speed and performance of the WiFi network as clients associate with and disassociate from the WiFi network. If you enable load balancing, client associations depend on the maximum number of clients per radio, the channel load per radio, and each client's Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). New client associations are allowed if a radio's utilization remains within the defined load balancing settings. If a radio's utilization exceeds the defined load balancing settings, new client associations are temporary halted until the radio's utilization falls within the defined load balancing settings. Note: The Dashboard page can show information about the client and traffic distribution per radio as well as the client, traffic, and channel utilization for each radio (see Display client distribution, connected clients, and client trends on page 187 and View WiFi and Ethernet traffic, traffic and ARP statistics, and channel utilization on page 190). By default, all of the following types of load balancing are enabled with their default settings: • Load balancing based on the maximum number of clients: The access point allows client associations up to the specified maximum number of clients. After the maximum number is exceeded, new clients are rejected. Even though this is a global setting, it is implemented per radio. • Load balancing based on the channel load: The access point allows client associations up to the defined maximum channel utilization. After the maximum channel utilization is exceeded, new clients are rejected. Even though this is a global setting, it is implemented per radio. Note: If a client is rejected but persistently tries to associate with the access point, the access point grants access to that client. • Load balancing based on the RSSI of the client: Clients with an RSSI that is equal to or higher than the defined minimum are allowed to associate with the access point. Clients with an RSSI below the defined minimum are rejected. Even though this is a global setting, it is implemented per radio. Note: If a client is rejected but persistently tries to associate with the access point, the access point grants access to that client. Manage the Advanced Radio 227 Features User Manual
