Abstract: Examples described herein relate to configuration of access points including Internet-of-Things (IoT) radio. An access point identifier list is received from a network administration node in a network. Each access point identifier in the access point identifier list is uniquely associated with an access point, which includes an IoT radio. A first rules list is received from the network administration node. Each rule in the first rules list indicates a constraint and access point configuration values. An objective function is used to identify access point identifiers satisfying one or more of the constraints in the rules. The access points associated with the identified access point identifiers are configured with the access point configuration values as indicated in the rules.
