Adjusting bandwidth utilization of wireless network based on potential issues being predicted

A device for using trends to predict potential issues and take actions to avoid the potential issues or limit impact thereof in a Wi-Fi wireless network, the device comprising:

• a wireless interface to communicate with one or more wireless devices;
• a processor communicatively coupled to a memory for storing network configuration information, wherein the network configuration information includes network topology and wireless device parameters;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium to store instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
• define parameters of the Wi-Fi wireless network, the parameters including topology of the Wi-Fi wireless network and priority levels of the wireless devices for connecting to the Wi-Fi wireless network;
• monitor activities of the wireless devices connected to the Wi-Fi wireless network;
• process the monitored activities to develop trends for the wireless devices;
• predict potential issues with the Wi-Fi wireless network based on current network activities and predicted activities based on the developed trends;
• and
• take actions with regard to network usage by the wireless devices based on the predicted potential issues and the priority levels of the Wi-Fi wireless devices, to avoid the potential issues or reduce impact of the potential issues on the Wi-Fi wireless network.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing stored instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to use trends to predict potential issues and take actions to avoid the potential issues or limit impact thereof in a Wi-Fi wireless network by:

• defining parameters of the Wi-Fi wireless network, the parameters including topology of the Wi-Fi wireless network and priority levels of the wireless devices for connecting to the Wi-Fi wireless network;
• monitoring activities of the wireless devices connected to the Wi-Fi wireless network;
• processing the monitored activities to develop trends for the wireless devices;
• predicting potential issues with the Wi-Fi wireless network based on current network activities and predicted activities based on the developed trends;
• and
• taking actions with regard to network usage by the wireless devices based on the predicted potential issues and the priority levels of the wireless devices, to avoid the potential issues or reduce impact of the potential issues on the Wi-Fi wireless network.
