I have Cisco Wireless Controller 5520 - 8.3.132.0 - With Cisco Prime 3.5.0
I have about 900 AP - and a daily count of 5000 Client give or take
This is running smoothly whit no problems - My Question is.
I have made a setup with 3 AP2802 - for an examination for 150 Students. - They were all asked to turn off their phones before exsamination.
All having a Laptop - I was counting on 150 Clients divided between the 3 ap´s.
But in reallity I got 110 Clients on a single AP and the remaining 40 on the last 2.
Why is that?

- Because clients make roaming decisions for themselves based on best 'Wifi-Environment'.

It depends on a lot of factors such as how may APs clients can hear from their location and how strong they can hear. AP power levels should be looked as well.
Sometimes, WLC configuration such as RF Profiles, client Load Balancing etc will help moving/sharing clients between APs.
Hope this helps

So What I thought was.
I have a square room with 3 APs one at each end and one in the middle.
The 150 Students are of course devided out in the room. - Most of them have Chromebooks
It was the AP in one end that was taking most of the load - So there is no way for me to control MAX load of the AP?
That way I could force them to go to another AP?
