The Advanced page allows you to enable or disable load balancing 
and to control bandwidth.
Load balancing is enabled by default. Load balancing distributes traf-
fi c effi ciently among network servers so that no individual server is over-
burdened. For example, 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 po-
tentially associate with the same AP, leaving the other AP unused.  Load 
balancing attempts 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 BW for the AP/WLAN is 4 Mbps and BW 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 1 client is on the network, a maximum of 0.5 Mbps 
will be allowed that client. 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 it while the other clients 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, on the other hand, 
and the available bandwidth 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.
