Systems and methods for wireless network management

An access point device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• collect, by an application executing on the access point device at a location, network data associated with one or more devices connected to a wireless network provided by the access point device, the network data comprising network performance metrics collected over a time period;
• analyze, by the application via a trained model, the collected network data against historical performance data to identify a pattern indicative of a recurring network issue, the pattern comprising a temporal characteristic indicating that the recurring network issue occurs at a frequency satisfying a threshold within the time period;
• determine, by the application, based on the pattern, operational instructions for preventing a next occurrence of the recurring network issue, the operational instructions comprising a scheduled modification to at least one of a channel assignment or a frequency band of the wireless network to be performed prior to a predicted time of the next occurrence;
• execute, by the application, the operational instructions at the predicted time to cause the scheduled modification, the scheduled modification preventing the recurring network issue from disrupting connectivity of the one or more devices to the wireless network;
• verify, by the application, an effectiveness of the executed operational instructions based on a comparison of network performance metrics collected after the executing against the historical performance data;
• generate, by the application, a solution package comprising the pattern, the operational instructions, and effectiveness data derived from the verifying;
• and
• cause, by the application, communication of the solution package to a cloud platform, the cloud platform being configured to distribute the solution package to one or more other access points to enable the one or more other access points to preventively apply the operational instructions upon detection of the pattern on respective networks.

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

• collecting, by an application executing on the access point at a location, network data associated with one or more devices connected to a wireless network provided by the access point, the network data comprising network performance metrics collected over a time period;
• analyzing, by the application via a trained model, the collected network data against historical performance data to identify a pattern indicative of a recurring network issue, the pattern comprising a temporal characteristic indicating that the recurring network issue occurs at a frequency satisfying a threshold within the time period;
• determining, by the application, based on the pattern, operational instructions for preventing a next occurrence of the recurring network issue, the operational instructions comprising a scheduled modification to at least one of a channel assignment or a frequency band of the wireless network to be performed prior to a predicted time of the next occurrence;
• executing, by the application, the operational instructions at the predicted time to cause the scheduled modification, the scheduled modification preventing the recurring network issue from disrupting connectivity of the one or more devices to the wireless network;
• verifying, by the application, an effectiveness of the executed operational instructions based on a comparison of network performance metrics collected after the executing against the historical performance data;
• generating, by the application, a solution package comprising the pattern, the operational instructions, and effectiveness data derived from the verifying;
• and
• causing, by the application, communication of the solution package to a cloud platform, the cloud platform being configured to distribute the solution package to one or more other access points to enable the one or more other access points to preventively apply the operational instructions upon detection of the pattern on respective networks.
