Network environment health monitoring

A non-transitory computer readable storage device including instructions that when performed by a processor enable performance of an operation comprising:

• receiving, at a network controller, an alert indicating that a first station (STA) is experiencing a connection with a first Access Point (AP) below a quality threshold;
• identifying a set of APs connected to a shared network with the first AP within one hop of the first AP;
• aggregating signal metrics for the first STA from the first AP and each AP of the set of APs;
• identifying a cause for the connection performing below the quality threshold based on the signal metrics as aggregated;
• and
• performing a remediation strategy based on the cause as identified.

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storage device, including instructions that when executed by the processor enable the device to:
• receive, at a network controller, an alert indicating that a first station (STA) is experiencing a connection with a first Access Point (AP) below a quality threshold;
• identify a set of APs connected to a shared network with the first AP within one hop of the first AP that can hear a beacon transmitted from the first AP;
• receive a list of APs from the first STA that the first STA can hear;
• select a subset of APs from the set of APs by removing APs appearing on the list of APs from the set of APs;
• aggregate signal metrics for the first STA from the first AP and each AP of the subset of APs;
• identify a cause for the connection performing below the quality threshold based on the signal metrics as aggregated;
• and
• transmit a remediation strategy to the first STA based on the cause as identified.
