  • 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: 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.

  • Patent number: 10785703
    Abstract: An unauthorized access point is identified during a periodic scan on the wireless network and storing a MAC address for the unauthorized access point and monitored for connection attempts. In response to an attempt by the unauthorized access point to connect to a wireless station or in response to the wireless station attempt to connect to the unauthorized access point, a spoofed probe response is transmitted to prevent a connection. The probe response can include a channel switching element and the MAC address of the unauthorized access point.
