Selective providing of a transition recommendation based on response history

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an access point, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by the access point, causes the access point to perform operations comprising:

• comparing a communication performance metric of the access point and a parameter corresponding to communication performance metrics of one or more second access points;
• and
• selectively providing a recommendation addressed to a first connected electronic device based at least in part on the comparison and a history of responses of at least the first connected electronic device to one or more previous recommendations, wherein the recommendation indicates that the first connected electronic device, which is associated with the access point, transition to a different communication channel;
• wherein the history of responses comprises declining the one or more previous recommendations;
• wherein the recommendation is selectively provided using a basic service set transition management (BTM) protocol;
• and
• wherein, when the first connected electronic device does not support the BTM protocol, the operations comprise disassociating from the first connected electronic device.

A method for selectively providing a recommendation, comprising:

• by an access point:
• comparing a communication performance metric of the access point and a parameter corresponding to communication performance metrics of one or more second access points;
• and
• selectively providing a recommendation addressed to a first connected electronic device based at least in part on the comparison and a history of responses of at least the first connected electronic device to one or more previous recommendations, wherein the recommendation indicates that the first connected electronic device, which is associated with the access point, transition to a different communication channel;
• wherein the history of responses comprises declining the one or more previous recommendations;
• wherein the recommendation is selectively provided using a basic service set transition management (BTM) protocol;
• and
• wherein, when the first connected electronic device does not support the BTM protocol, the method comprises disassociating from the first connected electronic device.
