Techniques for power zoning in a network environment

A wireless networking system comprising:

• at least one access point, include a computer readable medium and processor, the at least one access point configured to:
• determine interference levels associated with a plurality of channels of a wireless network;
• assign at least one performance threshold to each channel from the plurality of channels based on the interference levels and one or more connection policies;
• receive a request from a client device to connect to an access point;
• determine connection information associated with the client device;
• assign the client device to a first channel based on the connection information and the at least one performance threshold;
• monitor the connection information associated with the client device;
• and
• reassign the client device to a second channel based on a change in the connection information associated with the client device and the at least one performance threshold.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine interference levels associated with a plurality of channels of a wireless network;
• assign at least one performance threshold to each channel from the plurality of channels based on the interference levels and one or more connection policies;
• receive a request from a client device to connect to an access point;
• determine connection information associated with the client device;
• assign the client device to a first channel based on the connection information and the at least one performance threshold;
• monitor the connection information associated with the client device;
• and
• reassign the client device to a second channel based on a change in the connection information associated with the client device and the at least one performance threshold.
