Abstract: System and methods for managing a Wi-Fi network of a plurality of Wi-Fi networks from a cloud-based Network Operations Control (NOC) dashboard are provided. A method, according to one implementations, includes the step of obtaining Wi-Fi metrics and cellular metrics from a network. The method also includes the step of displaying a dashboard on a user interface for use by a support agent at a Network Operations Center (NOC). Also, the method includes the step of displaying both the Wi-Fi metrics and the cellular metrics on the dashboard.
