Claim 14:
15. A wireless mesh network comprising:
a first wireless mesh device;
a second wireless mesh device, wherein the first wireless mesh device:
receives, from the second wireless mesh device, first client information associated with a first wireless client device connected to the second wireless mesh device over a first link using a first frequency band;
determines, using the first client information, a first metric representing airtime usage associated with the first link;
determines a second metric representing a first amount of data traffic associated with the first wireless client device to be transmitted on a second link between the first wireless mesh device and the second wireless mesh device, the second link using the first frequency band;
determines a third metric representing the first amount of data traffic associated with the first wireless client device to be transmitted on a third link between the first wireless mesh device and the second wireless mesh device, the third link using a second frequency band;
determines, using the first metric and the second metric, a fourth metric representing a first amount of throughput associated with a first path comprising the second link and the first link;
determines a fifth metric representing a second amount of throughput associated with a second path comprising the third link and the first link;
determines that the fifth metric is less than the fourth metric; and
sends or receives first data associated with the first wireless client device on the third link.
