Computerized systems and methods for non-disruptive off-channel scanning via MLO functionality

A system comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• identify, over a network, a multi-link operation (MLO) network connection between a set of devices, the set of devices comprising at least one client device and an access point (AP) device connected over the network via first link of the MLO network connection;
• determine network connection attributes of the network connection corresponding to the first link;
• analyze the network connection attributes, and determining a second link of the MLO network connection is capable of handling the network connection attributes of the first link, the second link comprising different network connection capabilities than the first link;
• offload, over the network, the network traffic from the first link to the second link;
• and
• execute, over the network, upon the offloading of the network traffic to the second link, off-channel scanning operations on the first link of the MLO network connection, the off-channel scanning operations comprise functionality for modifying or fine-tuning the MLO network connection in relation to the first link.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:

• identifying, over a network, a multi-link operation (MLO) network connection between a set of devices, the set of devices comprising at least one client device and an access point (AP) device connected over the network via first link of the MLO network connection;
• determining network connection attributes of the network connection corresponding to the first link;
• analyzing the network connection attributes, and determining a second link of the MLO network connection is capable of handling the network connection attributes of the first link, the second link comprising different network connection capabilities than the first link;
• offloading, over the network, the network traffic from the first link to the second link;
• and
• executing, over the network, upon the offloading of the network traffic to the second link, off-channel scanning operations on the first link of the MLO network connection, the off-channel scanning operations comprise functionality for modifying or fine-tuning the MLO network connection in relation to the first link.
