Abstract: An example network management apparatus is configured to continuously monitor an environment for a plurality of wireless signals transmitted by a plurality of wireless network devices, and determine first data regarding the wireless network devices, including identifiers of the wireless network devices, locations of the wireless network devices, and network configurations of the wireless network devices. Further, the network management apparatus is configured to access second data regarding physical characteristics of the environment, determining one or more modifications of the network configurations of the wireless network devices, and transmit one or more commands to the wireless network devices to modify one or more of their respective network configurations.
