Abstract: In a computer-enabled method, at a wireless network access point configured to operate in a wireless network, wherein the wireless network access point comprises a plurality of radios, a load on the wireless network access point is determined, while at least two radios of the plurality of radios are powered on. In response to the load transitioning from above a threshold to below the threshold, at least one of the powered-on radios is powered off while leaving the remaining radios of the plurality of radios powered-on.
