In home Wi-Fi channel scanning enhancements

A method of using a first access point device and a second access point device, the method comprising:

• delegating, via a delegating component, the first access point device to monitor for a presence of a signal on any one of a first set of channels within a spectrum of channels in a radar band;
• delegating, via the delegating component, the second access point device to monitor a second presence of a second signal on any one of a second set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band;
• receiving, via a communication component, a channel-in-use signal from the first access point device, the channel-in-use signal being associated with an in-use channel;
• transmitting, via the communication component, a notification signal to the second access point device based on the channel-in-use signal;
• determining, via a load balancing component, a communication volume on each of the first set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band and the second set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band;
• generating, via the load balancing component, an instruction to instruct the first access point device and the second access point device to not use the in-use channel;
• transmitting, via the communication component, the instruction to the first access point device and the second access point device, and
• receiving, via the communication component, a communication signal from one of the first access point device and the second access point device as a result of the transmitting of the instruction.

A non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform steps of a method of using a first access point device and a second access point device, the method comprising:

• delegating, via a delegating component, the first access point device to monitor for a presence of a signal on any one of a first set of channels within a spectrum of channels in a radar band;
• delegating, via the delegating component, the second access point device to monitor a second presence of a second signal on any one of a second set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band;
• receiving, via a communication component, a channel-in-use signal from the first access point device, the channel-in-use signal being associated with an in-use channel;
• transmitting, via the communication component, a notification signal to the second access point device based on the channel-in-use signal;
• determining, via a load balancing component, a communication volume on each of the first set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band and the second set of channels within the spectrum of channels in the radar band;
• generating, via the load balancing component, an instruction to instruct the first access point device and the second access point device to not use the in-use channel;
• transmitting, via the communication component, the instruction to the first access point device and the second access point device, and
• receiving, via the communication component, a communication signal from one of the first access point device and the second access point device as a result of the transmitting of the instruction.
