Unifi dream machine PRO load balancing?

Question

Computer networks

Hello
I constantly observe an uneven load on unifi access points.
Tried to manually set
For 2.4 GHz, choose between 1, 6, or 11.
For 5 GHz / HT20, any two separate channels (eg 36 and 40).

For 5 GHz / HT40, they're paired (so if one is set to 36 or 40, it uses both 36+40), so use something like 36 (36+40) and 44 (44+48).
for 5 GHz / HT80, they use all four channels (so "36" is really 36 + 40 + 44 + 48), so unless you have a second set (in the US there's 36-48 and 149-161), don' t use HT80.

But still there is no balance. What is the option of smart balancing?
It is possible to fasten something like HAPRoxy or what patches to put?
Firmware updated to latest version

Answer 1

The title of the topic does not correspond to the essence of the question. "Unifi dream machine PRO load balancing" is something about balancing communication channels, and not about radio.
With regards to the radio - what's wrong? The client decides which point to associate with. If they are hung unevenly - well, then the client believes that he hears one point better than the other, that's all. Even if the client, who is located directly under the AP, chooses the AP behind the wall - well, he chose it and that's it, write letters to the grandfather's village, so that the grandfather would correct the driver for the radio card. The dots don't work here.

I remember somewhere about a year ago I set up this balancing and it concerned the Internet channel. Two Internet balancing. and so she constantly balanced and each time threw from one Internet to another user. and we had an ip telephony from another city over the tunnel, in short, when talking, the call was cut off. as a result, we set up the second channel as a backup and then crutches, throwing a file with the json setting there into daddy chz ssh. well, telephony chz qos.
maybe it's different now. updates keep coming out

In the unufi controller, you can configure the number of clients per access point, and depending on the type of access point, you can make a "seamless" network with some stretch ... Still, wifi is not very suitable for balancing clients, alas, as shell_guy noted
