We'd love to increase throughput to the APS and the Zone Director with Load Balancing. <BR /> I know they can give HR but Load balancing gives both Redundancy and increased throuput. <BR /> Please consider? If this could be done also at the AP with both POE and non POE ports (er somehow) that would be pretty cool!!!!
