  1. Go to Configure > Common Objects > Policy > Radio Profiles.

    2. In the To field, enter the end time for the interval.
    3. In the Do not switch channels if the number of connected clients exceeds field, specify the number of connected clients.

      If the number of associated clients is equal to or less than the specified value, and if the AP finds a better channel, it can switch to a new channel. Associated clients lose their connections and must reconnect. If the number of clients exceeds the value, the AP does not switch to a new channel. When a client de-authenticates during the scheduled time range, the AP checks the number of clients against the value. If the number of clients does not exceed the value, the AP switches channels. If the number of clients still exceeds the value, the AP does not change channels.
