    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 for optimizing a distributed Wi-Fi network via a cloud based system using a plurality of control loops over multiple timescales include receiving and storing data measurements associated with operation of the distributed Wi-Fi network; performing one or more of: a fast loop optimization of operating parameters associated with the distributed Wi-Fi network based on one or more first metrics and associated first thresholds; and a slow loop optimization of the operating parameters associated with the distributed Wi-Fi network based on one or more second metrics and associated second thresholds, wherein a timescale of the fast loop optimization is finer than a timescale of the slow loop optimization; and providing the operating parameters to the distributed Wi-Fi network for configuration thereof.
