4. Select the Balance Band Loads by Ratio radio button to balance the radio load, by assigning a
ratio to both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands. Balancing radio load by band ratio allows an
administrator to assign a greater weight to radio traffic on either the 2.4 or 5.0 GHz band. This
setting is enabled by default.
5. Set the following Channel Load Balancing settings:
6. Select the Balance AP Loads radio button to distribute this access point’s radio load amongst
other access point radios. This setting is disabled by default, keeping the load on this access
point radio.
7. Set the following Band Control values within the Advanced Parameters field.
Balance 2.4GHz Channel
Loads Select this option to balance loads across channels in the 2.4 GHz radio band. This can prevent
congestion on the 2.4 GHz radio if a channel is over utilized. This setting is enabled by default.
Selecting this feature enables parameters within the Channel Load Balancing field for
assigning weightage and throughput values.
Balance 5GHz Channel Loads Select this option to balance loads across channels in the 5.0 GHz radio band. This can prevent
congestion on the 5.0 GHz radio if a channel is over utilized. This setting is enabled by default.
Selecting this feature enables parameters within the Channel Load Balancing field for
assigning weightage and throughput values.
Max. Band Load Difference
Considered Equal Use the spinner control to set a value (from 0 - 100%) considered an adequate discrepancy (or
deviation) when comparing 2.4 and 5GHz radio band load balances. The default setting is 1%.
Thus, using a default setting of 10% means 10% is considered inconsequential when
comparing 2.4 and 5.0 GHz load balances on this access point. This setting is not available if
the Steering Strategy has been set to Disable.
Band Ratio (2.4GHz) Use the spinner control to set a loading ratio (from 0 - 10) the access point 2.4 GHz radio uses
in respect to radio traffic load on the 2.4 GHz band. This allows an administrator to weight the
traffic load if wishing to prioritize client traffic on the 2.4 GHz radio band. The higher the value
set, the greater the weight assigned to radio traffic load on the 2.4 GHz radio band. The default
setting is 1. This setting is enabled only when Steer by ratio is selected as the steering strategy.
Band Ratio (5GHz) Use the spinner control to set a loading ratio (from 0 - 10) the access point
5.0 GHz radio uses in respect to radio traffic on the 5.0 GHz band. This allows an administrator
to weight client traffic if wishing to prioritize client traffic on the 5.0 GHz radio band. The higher
the value set, the greater the weight assigned to radio traffic load on the 5.0 GHz radio band.
The default setting is 1. This setting is enabled only when Steer by ratio is selected as the
steering strategy.
5 GHz load at which both
bands enabled When the Steering Strategy is set to Steer at 5.0 GHz, use the spinner control to set a value
(from 0 - 100%) at which the load on the 2.4 GHz radio is equally preferred to this 5.0 GHz radio
load. The default is 10%.
2.4 GHz load at which both
bands enabled When the Steering Strategy is set to Steer at 2.4 GHz, use the spinner control to set a value
(from 0 - 100%) at which the load on the 5.0 GHz radio is equally preferred to this 2.4 GHz radio
load. The default is 10%.
