Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a plurality of non-transitory instructions executable with a processor to facilitate load balancing for a primary access point, the non-transitory instructions being sufficient for: determining a plurality of clients having completed an association process sufficient for obtaining access to a wireless spectrum available through the primary access point; determining a minimum throughput to represent a minimum data rate for wireless signaling carried over the wireless spectrum between the plurality of clients and the primary access point; determining a throughput to represent an active data rate for wireless signaling being carried over the wireless spectrum between the plurality of clients and the primary access point; implementing a disassociation process when the throughput is less than the minimum throughput, the dissociation process iteratively disassociating one or more of the plurality of clients according to an order specified in a ranking until the throughput meets or exceeds the threshold; determining a plurality of traffic types associated with the wireless signaling being carried over the wireless spectrum for one or more of the plurality of clients; determining the order as a function of the plurality of traffic types, including determining the order such that one or more of the plurality of clients associated with a first traffic type of the plurality of traffic types are disassociated prior to one or more of the plurality of clients associated with a second traffic type of the plurality of traffic types; determining a relative signal strength associated with the wireless signaling being carried over the wireless spectrum for the one or more of the plurality of clients associated with the first traffic type and the second traffic type; and determining the order as a function of the relative signal strength, including sequencing the ranking according to the relative signal strength such that the one or more clients associated with the first traffic type having a lowest of the relative signal strength is dissociated prior to the one or more of the clients associated with a next lowest of the relative signal strength.
