Client load balancing steers eligible stations toward less busy APs, improving distribution of radio airtime and reducing localized saturation. Decisions depend on RF adjacency, compatible client behavior and valid coverage; it cannot force arbitrary clients to accept a particular target. Verify which APs and bands carry the imbalance, their airtime load, and whether sticky clients or roaming constraints contribute. Manually pinning channels changes RF reuse rather than station association, and lowering minimum rates can permit distant clients to occupy even more airtime.
Static channel assignment may solve a localized RF plan defect but does not distribute clients across otherwise healthy radios. Lowering minimum rates risks consuming more airtime. Load balancing acts on where suitable clients associate, subject to client roaming behavior.
