Cisco Aironet 1140 limit number of connections?
I have a number of Cisco Aironet WAPs in my organization. Is there a setting to limit the number of connections per WAP?

So I ask again, how can I limit the number of connections per WAP before the devices hops over to the next available WAP?
Hmmm, you asked IF there was a limit...
Was that question not answered?
Perhaps you could be more specific in both the question and the information you provided?
For example, do you have a controller or are the APs autonomous? This is an important question, hence mentioning that on a controller-based AP this is only a soft-limit.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear. To be more specific...
I want to limit the number of connections per WAP before devices are forced to hop onto the next available WAP.
I do not have a controller as each WAP is autonomous.

Thanks craigbeck. I'll give this a try.
No probs - let me know how it goes :-)
The default limit is 200 clients. If you change it the AP will tell the client that it can't connect when the limit is reached, but the client will just try again if no other AP is available. After so many attempts the AP will just let the client connect anyway.
On IOS-based APs the limit will stop more clients than you specify from connecting.
