Reboot time metric determination for access points

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of an access point, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• determining a first amount of time between a first time associated with a current reboot of the access point and a second time associated with a last reboot of the access point;
• computing an aggregate reboot interval associated with the access point based on the first amount of time and a prior aggregate reboot interval associated and the access point;
• and
• transmitting the aggregate reboot interval to one or more nodes of a mesh network.

An access point comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• detecting that the access point has obtained network connectivity after rebooting;
• in response to detecting that the access point has obtained network connectivity after rebooting:
• determining a first amount of time between a first reboot time associated with the rebooting and a second reboot time associated with a previous rebooting;
• updating an average amount of time between reboots for the access point based on the first amount of time;
• and
• transmitting, using the transceiver, the average amount of time between reboots to one or more nodes of a mesh network.
