  • Publication number: 20240114371
    Abstract: Scan mode is configured in an access point to monitor WLAN conditions. A channel list is progressively scanned using full capabilities available from MIMO transceivers. During a hop period, each MIMO transceiver is configured to a first set of channels from the channel list within an RF band. During a dwell period, an RF analysis is performed for the set of channels to identify conditions on the WLAN.

  • Patent number: 11882467
    Abstract: Specific clients are assigned to a second access point based balancing an Ethernet uplink load status of the specific access point relative to the uplink load status of access points across a WLAN system, wherein the RSSI strength of the specific client relative to a first access point is higher than the RSSI strength of the specific client relative to the second access point.

  • Patent number: 11743175
    Abstract: Redundant upstream mesh links are formed with a gateway access point for each of the radio capabilities. A resource load is measured across each of the redundant upstream mesh links. During runtime, a packet is received for upstream (or downstream) transmission from a specific client from the plurality of clients. An upstream link is selected for transmission of the packet from the redundant upstream mesh links for transmission of the packet and packets of the packet session, based on a highest link quality available from the plurality of mesh links according to the resource load measurement.

  • Publication number: 20230216796
    Abstract: Responsive to matching a site prefix to IPv6 network traffic from clients, the traffic as intended, and responsive to not matching the site prefix, classifying the corresponding traffic as unintended. An initial rate of packet occurrence and predict load caused by intended traffic and predicting load caused by unintended traffic is calculated, based on an initial rate of packet occurrence. The predicted traffic loads are fed back by configuring behavior of network modules according to the predictions of intended traffic load and unintended traffic load. Packet processing traffic at the network modules is based on traffic classification from the outcome of the AI-neuron.

  • Patent number: 11595868
    Abstract: Responsive to receiving a probe request at an idle transceiver over a first channel from a Wi-Fi client and a determination that the Wi-Fi client is not currently associated with the access point for service, a second channel being used for client service is identified. A probe response frame is generated including a CSA (channel switch announcement) indicating the second channel and transmitted to the Wi-Fi client causing authentication over the second channel. The Wi-Fi client is then serviced over the at least one non-idle transceiver over the second channel.

  • Publication number: 20230006967
    Abstract: Specific connection request is refused responsive to a match on the MAC ban list. If not on the MAC ban list, and a station has MAC randomization enabled, the specific connection requests is also checked against the hostname ban list, wherein the specific connection request is refused responsive to a match on the hostname ban list. The specific new connection request is allowed to proceed responsive to not matching the MAC ban list and not matching the hostname ban list.

  • Patent number: 11540142
    Abstract: Muted 6 GHz stations on the Wi-Fi network within the plurality of stations on a first access point within the plurality of access points are assigned to a first access point from the plurality of access points associated with a list of non-overlapping 6 GHz channels, responsive to an RSSI value between the at least one 6 GHz station and the first access point. To do so, a channel switch announcement is unicast to the at least one muted 6 GHz station. The channel switch announcement is associated with a non-overlapping 6 GHz channel of the first access point. The remaining stations connected to the first access point are deauthenticated.

  • Patent number: 11297511
    Abstract: A station with a 160 MHz channel connection at a first access point is downgraded by an access point in response to being displaced off of a channel status changing to NOP (non occupancy period). This can be caused by ambient radar signals. The downgrade is addressed by redistributing the 160 MHz stations to other access points with available 160 MHz channels. Stations are steered to a network-wide best available bandwidth channel across different access points.

  • Patent number: 10912015
    Abstract: Responsive to a CPU load of a specific access point surpassing a high CPU threshold value, each of the wireless stations is disassociated from the specific access point. A second access point within range of the disassociated wireless stations is identified. A current CPU load is determined for the second access point and determining RSSI values for the wireless station with respect to the second access points relative to other available access points. Responsive to a current CPU load being within a low CPU threshold value, and an RSSI value being within a minimum decibel value, one or more of the disassociated wireless stations the second access point are associated. IPv6 network services are then continued for the wireless station by the second access point.
