The second response your AP can take is to kick the connections that are pushing 
it over its balanced bandwidth allotment.
Figure 165   Kicking a Connection
Connections are kicked based on either idle timeout or signal strength. The 
NWA first looks to see which devices have been idle the longest, then starts 
kicking them in order of highest idle time. If no connections are idle, the next 
criteria the NWA analyzes is signal strength. Devices with the weakest signal 
strength are kicked first.
