Abstract: Various example embodiments for supporting control over association of WiFi clients with WiFi access points are presented herein. Various example embodiments for supporting control over association of WiFi clients with WiFi access points may be configured to support control over association of WiFi clients with WiFi access points and radio bands of WiFi access points. Various example embodiments for supporting control over association of WiFi clients with WiFi access points and radio bands of WiFi access points may be configured to control association of WiFi clients with WiFi access points and radio bands of WiFi access points by refusing requests of WiFi clients (e.g., authentication requests, association requests, or the like), including sub-optimal requests of WiFi clients, based on WiFi access control information maintained on the WiFi access points.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a cloud controller configured to control a wireless network having an edge controller, including: a network interface configured to communicate with the wireless network; a memory; a processor coupled to the memory and the network interface, wherein the processor is further configured to: receive performance metrics for the wireless network including congestion information; compare the congestion information with congestion criteria; identify clients connected to the wireless network as candidates to be transferred; sending a steering command to the edge controller with a list of identified clients to steer; and receiving an indication of clients steered by the edge controller.
