Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting band steering and/or channel steering in wireless communications systems, e.g. WiFi communications systems, are described. An access point aggregates information, e.g., from messages being communicated between the access point and client devices being serviced by the access point, and generates reports. The generated reports are communicated to a control device, e.g. a radio resource management (RRM) device. In some embodiments, generated reports include one or more of: i) message header information, e.g. resource unit (RU) allocation and/or use information and/or BSS color information, ii) collision reports, iii) received signal strength indicator (RSSI) reports, signal to noise ratio (SNR) reports, iv) interference reports; v) power information; vi) access point measurement information; and vii) access point control information. The control device uses the received reports from APs, in making bandsteering decisions with regard to individual client devices, and channel change decisions with regard to access points.
