- | \\ | + | There are two criteria for the roaming assistant: |
+ | |||
+ | >1) RSSI [ARM and MIPS hardware]\\ 2) idle rate of your client (default rate for checking < 2 Kbps) [only ARM hardware] | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can test that for example: if your client constantly is downloading something it will not be kicked off your wireless lan, even if the RSSI criteria is crossed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the default idle rate (hidden option for ARM branch only) is too low for you, it can be adjust: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example - change idle limit from 2 (default) to 200 Kbps: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code -> | ||
+ | root@R7000:/ | ||
+ | 2 | ||
+ | root@R7000:/ | ||
+ | root@R7000:/ | ||
+ | 200 | ||
+ | root@R7000:/ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | To apply the new limit: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code -> | ||
+ | root@R7000:/ | ||

This sets the maximum number of clients allowed on the WiFi network. Increasing this number isn't advised. The the likely result will be an overloaded network with slow throughput. There is little risk in testing a lower number. This can be useful to reduce network traffic, or for security purposes. | This sets the maximum number of clients allowed on the WiFi network.
