    Abstract: An example method of allocating channels to access points (AP) is presented. A network manager may determine weights of the APs based on a channel metric and a location metric for APs. Further, the network manager may identify a first set of APs based on the weights and allocate a dedicated first channel to each of the first set of APs for its sole use. Accordingly, each of the first set of APs may use a respective dedicated first channel thereby reducing the performance impact on other APs. Further, the network manager may identify a second set of APs based on the weights and allocate second channels for sharing among the second set of APs. Since the second set of APs does not share any channel with the first set of APs, the performance of the second set of APs may not be impacted due to the first set of APs.
