  • Patent number: 10680887
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for remotely managing and correcting implementation of configuration settings at network devices operating in the network. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes transmitting, by a controller, a request to a network device of the network for a status of operation of the network device with respect at least one configuration setting available at the network device; determining, by the controller, whether the status matches an operation status provided by the at least one configuration setting; and performing, by the controller, a recovery process to adjust the implementation of the at least one configuration setting when the determining determines that the status does not match the operation status.

  • Patent number: 10440723
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology address the problems of calculating and performing channel assignments for access points (APs) in a wireless network. In some aspects, a process for performing channel assignment can include steps for identifying multiple APs in a network, each of the wireless APs being associated with an initial channel assignment, selecting an AP from among the wireless APs in the network, determining a channel quality for the initial channel assignment associated with the AP, and selecting a new channel for the AP based on the channel quality. In some aspects, the process further includes steps for selecting a second AP, determining a channel quality for the initial channel assignment associated with the second AP, and selecting a new channel for the second AP based on the channel quality. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
