Configuring Load Balancing
You can configure load balancing on the Cisco RV180W to balance traffic
between the four available wireless networks to get optimal resource utilization,
throughput, or response time.
To configure load balancing:
STEP 1 Choose Wireless > Load Balancing.
STEP 2 Check Enable.
STEP 3 Under SSID Utilization Threshold, enter the utilization percentage for each SSID, or
network. When the network traffic exceeds that percentage, the Cisco RV180W
will direct traffic to one of the other networks whose threshold has not been
reached. The current utilization is displayed.
