Allen,
If you go to each controller via WCS on the left hand side drop down the
system options. Under general you will see something called 'aggressive
load balancing'. This is supposed to solved your problems. We have not
really tested it, so I cannot say that it works or it does not.
However, I do know 12 users on one of these APs is not enough to break
it. You should be able to have all the users connect to that AP and not
have any issues. I would actually prefer for them to connect to the
immediate AP. The aggressive load balancing feature would be more
useful if someone was running a VOIP solution, where the number of users
per AP drops dramatically.
Thanks.

There is a load-balancing feature in the controller that you can take
advantage of, to require, for example, that only 8 users are on each AP.
The specific details are fuzzy to me (and I couldn't find any detailed
online documentation), but the options will be obvious once you find the
configuration screen. If I remember correctly, there was no percentage
based load-balancing, that is, the ability of the system to split clients
among APs based on a percentage basis.

I am having problem of more than 12 users connecting to one access
points even through there are access points in next classrooms.
For example, there are 3 access points in each different classroom.
Access Point A is in classroom 1. Access Point B is in Classroom 2.
Access point C is in classroom 3.
We have 14 laptops in classroom 2 and all are connect to Access point B
even through AP A and AP C are showing no users connections. Wireless
survey shows that laptop can see 3 access points in classroom 2.
We are using Cisco LWAPP connecting to 4 4404 wireless LAN controllers
and wireless network is monitored by Cisco Wireless Control system
(WCS). For this case, all 3 ap are connect to same controller. All 3 ap
are broadcasting same SSID.
How do we make user's laptop connect to other AP? or make ap force user
to connect to other access point.
