divide clients on 2 AP

hi,

i have 2 AP working in a range of 300 meters.

the users are connecting to one AP and the other is a standby just in case the first fails…

both have same SSID and are hard wired (CAT5) to the main network switch.

the transfer of the clients between the 2 works successfully when one of the AP goes down or stops responding.

now i want to divide the clients between the 2 AP with some criteria. how can i achieve something like that??

It’s the client that chooses the ap so if you are talking about control from the ap then the best option may be setting a minimum signal level like -85

setting signal level where?

i don’t know any parameter setting to get that kind of thing working.

can you please give me a lead?

You set it on the AP in /wireless. Theres an access list and a connection list - connect list is for other APS, Access List for client devices and you can limit signal there.

will explore and try finding it out. in the meantime can you please give me some leads?
