Fig. 36: IEEE 802.11b/g load balancing settings 

Several IEEE 802.11b/g’s can form a load-balancing group if they are set with the same Group ID. 
The load-balancing policy can be by Number of Users or by Traffic Load. 

If the by-number-of-users policy is selected, a new wireless user can only associate with an IEEE 
802.11b/g that has the smallest number of associated wireless users in the group. On the other hand, if 
the by-traffic-load policy is selected, a new wireless user can only associate with an IEEE 802.11b/g 
that has the less traffic load in the group. 

 

 

Fig. 37: Wireless Distribution System 

Traditionally, access points are connected by Ethernet. By Wireless Distribution System (WDS), APs 
can communicate with one another wirelessly. For example, in Fig. 37, AP 2 acts as an access point 
for the notebook computers and it forwards packets sent from the notebook computers to AP 1 
through WDS. Then, AP 1 forwards the packets to the Ethernet LAN. Packets destined for the note-
book computers follow a reverse path from the Ethernet LAN through the APs to the notebook com-
puters. In this way, AP 2 plays a role of “AP repeater”.
