Manage client limits
By default, a maximum of 64 WiFi clients can associate with each radio on the access
point.
For each radio, you can specify a lower number of maximum WiFi clients. The range is
from 1 to 64. The maximum number applies to all clients connected to one radio, that
is, to all active SSIDs on the radio. For example, if two SSIDs are active on the 2.4 GHz
radio, the maximum number of 64 clients applies to the two SSIDs on the 2.4 GHz radio,
that is,
together
these SSIDs cannot support more than 64 clients. You cannot set client
limits for individual SSIDs.
For a radio, you can also disable client limits entirely, allowing an unlimited number of
clients to associate with the radio. However, if too many clients simultaneously connect
to the radio, the quality and throughput of the connection might decrease, or clients
might not be able to connect.
To manage client limits:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is directly connected
over WiFi to the access point or connected to the same network as the access point.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you are directly connected to the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login window displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point on
page 33. For more information about the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, see 2.4 GHz
management SSID on page 58.
If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after you complete the initial
log-in process on page 35.
3. Enter the access point local device password and click the Login button.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The password is
case-sensitive.
The Device Status page displays.
4. Under Network, select Wireless.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
