Systems, methods, and devices for secure management of wireless device associations

A method comprising:

• determining wireless connection data identifying a plurality of wireless devices communicatively coupled to an access point;
• generating, using one or more processing elements, wireless device group data identifying a plurality of groups of wireless devices based, at least in part, on a plurality of device classification parameters;
• generating, using the one or more processing elements, configuration data for a plurality of virtual containers, wherein a virtual container is configured for each group of the plurality of groups based on network configuration information and device information configured to be used by a connection manager to implement connection settings for wireless connections between the access point and a group of wireless devices;
• and
• deploying, using the one or more processing elements, at least some of the plurality of virtual containers in the access point, wherein each of the plurality of groups of wireless devices has at least one associated virtual container used to implement connection settings for wireless connection activity associated with the access point.

A system comprising;
