repeatedly disconnect.
Both Load Balancing and Band Select will set limits on
the number of clients allowed on a AP. If this limit is
exceeded, the AP will refuse new association requests
or will proactively deauthorize clients in an attempt to
steer them to a different AP or radio band. In both
cases loss of connection and patient data can occur.
