hi kids, this is your dad, huahuanjayy wkwkwk, Nuenomaru the handsome is back in action.
Alright, it’s been a while since I last wrote an article. So let’s get straight to it.
In this article, I’ll share a solution for those of you who use multiple access points especially the Ruijie RAP series who want to improve and stabilize the performance of your Wi-Fi users. By taking advantage of load balancing features, whether it’s client load balancing or traffic load balancing, you can ensure a smoother and more stable network experience for everyone. AP load balancing balances traffic and connected STAs among APs. This prevents heavy traffic on an AP or excessive connections to an AP.
Signal overlapping occurs between APs on a wireless network. By default, STAs in a signal overlapping area randomly select APs to create connections. As a result, a single AP may be connected to a large number of STAs or bear heavy traffic, affecting user experience. You can configure AP load balancing to balance the number of STAs and traffic among APs in the same load balancing group. This prevents overload on a single AP.
Key advantage: STAs are load balanced, relieving the load of excessive connections to some APs.

Click add Load Balancing Group
Client Load Balancing
- Group name: Indicates the name of a load balancing group. You can name the group by area.
- Type: Select Client Load Balancing.
- Rule: When an AP is associated with more than 10 clients, and the difference in the number of clients associated with different APs reaches 5, load balancing is triggered.
- Add APs in the target area to the load balancing.
Traffic Load Balancing
- Group name: Indicates the name of a load balancing group. You can name the group by area.
- Type: Select Traffic Load Balancing.
- Rule: Load balancing is triggered when the traffic of an AP reaches 300 x 100 kbps, and the difference in traffic between it and another AP with the least traffic exceeds 20 x 100 kbps. If a client is rejected by an AP more than 3 times, the next association attempt will be permitted.
- Add APs in the target area to the load balancing group.
- This function is supported only on RAP series products. One AP can join only one load balancing group.
Hahaha alright, that’s a wrap for today’s article—my coffee’s gone, so that’s my cue to stop typing.
Let’s end this with a Bismillah at the start and an Alhamdulillah at the finish. Catch you next time, tech gembelers!.
