Hi everyone !
I'm pretty new to the openwisp environment. I wanted to know if I can use openwisp to achieve load balancing on the openWRT routers.
Say there are 10 clients and 2 access points , assuming both the AP's are in their range, can we use the openwisp controller to manage the clients connecting in such a way that both AP's have 5 clients each ?

Any help or advice on this matter will be of great help ! Thanks in advance ! :)

OpenWISP can't do this currently.

Thanks for the information Federico !
Does it the controller have the capability to move a client from on AP to another one ? If it does I can work around it to achieve load balancing .
Thank you in advance !

It doesn't have these capabilities. It's focused on automation of configurations right now.

Have you tought about a simpler mechanism, like limiting the number of max clients an AP can have? OpenWRT should support this.

Hey ! Thank you ! Yeah I know about the client limiting feature of openWRT but I need some controller capable of moving clients based on real-time load ( know any such controller ?? ) .. also can we monitor the load on each access point using openwisp ?

OpenWISP 2 it's focused on automation of configurations right now.
If you need an advanced monitoring tool, integrate something like zabbix as many users are doing:
