We are in the process of deploying wifi in public areas across the city.
At some public areas we get on average 200 to 300 people walking past a single AP.
The users might not be using the wifi service but their client devices still automatically associates to the AP, resulting in each AP having +- a 100 associated clients at any one time = poor service.
How do we prevent clients with a -75/-80 dbm signal strength from associating with the AP?
Or do we restrict the number of users per AP?

Hi Jorge,
no you don't need to enable probe suppression.

Min basic rate a good idea, and perhaps lower client session times.

Hello Deborak.
A query. I want to improve roaming in my WLAN
If I set a minimum basic rate on a radio, it is mandatory to enable Probe Suppression ????

How do you know the numbers of associated clients is the cause of the poor performance?
A number of attached clients should not degrade performance too much. Its the bandwidth and airtime they take up when they are sending or receiving data that would cause a problem.
In certain conditions it would not be unreasonable for an AP to support 100 clients that are concurrently transmitting data and still provide the client/application with the throughput it needs to function, especially if that's just web traffic.
