Method and apparatus for using time shifted analysis based on gathering non-encrypted information from packets

A system, comprising:

• a Wi-Fi coordinator device communicatively coupled to an access point and configured to receive packet information from one or more devices in range of the Wi-Fi coordinator device;
• and
• a cloud intelligence engine communicatively coupled to the Wi-Fi coordinator device and configured to receive the packet information, store the packet information, integrate the packet information with other packet information to generate integrated packet information, and determine one or more operational Wi-Fi settings for the access point device based at least on the integrated packet information;
• wherein, the cloud intelligence engine and the Wi-Fi coordinator device are configured to cause the access point to adjust one or more temporary Wi-Fi settings, determine a variation in one or more Wi-Fi performance parameters relative to the adjustment in the one or more temporary Wi-Fi settings, and to determine the one or more operational Wi-Fi settings for the access point device based on the variation in the one or more Wi-Fi performance parameters.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, using Wi-Fi coordinator device communicatively coupled to an access point, packet information from one or more devices in range of the Wi-Fi coordinator device;
• receiving, using a cloud intelligence engine communicatively coupled to the Wi-Fi coordinator device, the packet information;
• storing, using the clout intelligence engine, the packet information;
• integrating, using the cloud intelligence engine, the packet information with other packet information to generate integrated packet information;
• determining, using the cloud intelligence engine, one or more operational Wi-Fi settings for the access point device based at least on the integrated packet information;
• causing, using the cloud intelligence engine and the Wi-Fi coordinator, the access point to adjust one or more temporary Wi-Fi settings;
• determining, using the cloud intelligence engine, a variation in one or more Wi-Fi performance parameters relative to the adjustment in the one or more temporary Wi-Fi settings;
• and determining, using the cloud intelligence engine, the one or more operational Wi-Fi settings for the access point device based on the variation in the one or more Wi-Fi performance parameters.

A system, comprising:

• an access point;
• a Wi-Fi coordinator device communicatively coupled to the access point and configured to receive packet information from one or more devices in range of the Wi-Fi coordinator device;
• and a cloud intelligence engine communicatively coupled to the Wi-Fi coordinator device and configured to receive the packet information, store the packet information, integrate the packet information with other packet information to generate integrated packet information, and determine one or more operational Wi-Fi settings for the access point device based at least on the integrated packet information;
• wherein, the packet information includes information selected from the group consisting of a packet envelope, packet header, packet type, packet size, retry bits, collision bits, flags, status, timestamp, data rate, channel, signal level, noise level, MAC header, Logical Link Control header, and IP, TCP, and HTTP data.
