Abstract
In some examples, a method for Access Point (AP) radio frequency adjustment can include receiving, for a given AP in a wireless network, data regarding: (a) radios of a first set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a first frequency, a wireless client associated with the given AP, and (b) radios of a second set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a second frequency, the wireless client. The method can further include determining, for a radio of the given AP and based on the received data, a frequency redundancy for a set of wireless clients in the wireless network automatically adjusting a frequency of the radio of the given AP based on the determined frequency redundancy.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving, for a given Access Point (AP) in a wireless network, data regarding:
- (a) radios of a first set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a first frequency, a wireless client associated with the given AP, and (b) radios of a second set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a second frequency, the wireless client;
- determining, for a radio of the given AP and based on the received data, a frequency redundancy for a set of wireless clients in the wireless network;
- and
- automatically adjusting a frequency of the radio of the given AP based on the determined frequency redundancy.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions to cause a computer processor to:
- receive frequency radio data for Access Points (APs) neighboring a given AP;
- determine whether the frequency of a given dual-band radio of the given AP should be switched from a first frequency to a second frequency based on the received frequency radio data;
- and
- automatically adjust a frequency of the dual-band radio of the given AP based on the received data.
A computing device comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:
- receive data indicating:
- (a) potential coverage of a wireless client associated with a given Access Point (AP) by neighboring APs at a first frequency, and (b) potential coverage of the wireless client by neighboring APs at a second frequency;
- determine a level of redundancy for coverage of the wireless client at both the first and second frequency;
- and
- adjust a frequency of a radio of the given AP based on the determined redundancy levels.
