Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering data by an access point in a Wi-Fi system for optimization include periodically or based on command from a cloud-based system performing one or more of i) obtaining on-channel scanning data while operating on a home channel and ii) switching off the home channel and obtaining off-channel scanning data for one or more off-channels; and providing measurement data based on one or more of the on-channel scanning data and the off-channel scanning data to the cloud-based system for use in the optimization of the Wi-Fi system, wherein the measurement data comprises one or more of raw data and processed data.

Abstract: Systems and methods implemented through a user device, for claiming network devices for a home network in a distributed Wi-Fi network includes discovering a newly powered on access point; claiming the newly powered on access point for the home network; and relaying the claimed newly powered on access point to a cloud controller via a disjoint network from the home network, wherein the home network is restricted by the cloud controller to only operate with claimed access points. The discovering, the claiming, and the relaying can be performed by a mobile application executed on the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a cloud controller communicatively coupled to one or more distributed Wi-Fi networks and configured to manage the one or more distributed Wi-Fi networks. The cloud controller includes a network interface communicatively coupled to the distributed Wi-Fi networks; one or more processors communicatively coupled to the network interface; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to: determine a new topology state for a topology of Wi-Fi network from a current topology state based on management of the Wi-Fi network; cause one or more nodes to change to new associated parent nodes based on the new topology state; cause an update to a configuration of the one or more nodes based on the new topology state; and continue to change additional nodes to new associated parent nodes based on the new topology state until the new topology state is obtained.

Abstract: Systems and methods implemented by a cloud controller for steering Wi-Fi client devices in a Wi-Fi network include determining a client needs to be steered from a first access point to a second access point; selecting a client steering approach from a plurality of client steering approaches based on the client; and causing the client to be steered from the first access point to the second access point based on the selected client steering approach. The determining can be based on optimization performed by the cloud controller based on operational parameters associated with the Wi-Fi network.
