Network operation center dashboard for cloud-based wi-fi systems

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

• obtaining, over a network for a time period, data associated with a Wi-Fi network, the data comprising information related to an access point of the Wi-Fi network;
• analyzing the obtained data for the Wi-Fi network, and determining a plurality of factors corresponding to current network characteristics and current activities of the Wi-Fi network;
• determining, based on the plurality of factors, network metrics for the Wi-Fi network for the time period;
• causing display, within a user interface (UI), an interactive dashboard, the interactive dashboard comprising interactive tools related to the determined network metrics;
• receiving, responsive to the interactive tools, input related to a type of network metric;
• executing, via the interactive tools, a process to determine a correlation between performance of the Wi-Fi network to the plurality of factors;
• and
• enabling, based on the determined correlation, optimization of the Wi-Fi network, the optimization comprising configuration of a topology of nodes within the Wi-Fi network.
