Abstract: Methods and systems for using client assisted off-channel scanning. A method includes determining, by an access point, whether the access point or station performs an off-channel scan, selecting, by the access point, a station for each operating frequency supported by the access point when the access point is unable to perform the off-channel scan, sending, by the access point to each selected station, an off-channel scan request with a channel list, receiving, by the access point from each selected station, off-channel scan data, and selecting, by the access point, a serving channel for each operating frequency based on the off-channel scan data.
