Abstract:
1. A method for automatically allocating channels of a wireless network system, comprising: actuating one of access points in a wireless network system to scan all available channels for collecting channel status information of the other of the access points corresponding to said channels; calculating a better channel according to the collected channel status information; and switching an operation channel of the actuated access point into the better channel; wherein said other of the access points are access points in a coverage region covered by wireless signals of the actuated access point, and the channel status information comprises a MAC address of each of the access points, a channel numerals of each of said channels, and a Received Signal Strength Incidents (RSSI) of each of the access points, wherein the step of calculating the better channel further comprises: wherein the weighted RSSI value of each of said channels is calculated by the following equation: with the current channel RSSI is the accumulated RSSI value of each of said channels; the current channel±1 RSSI is respectively the accumulated RSSI value of a first last channel and a first next channel near by each of said channels; and the current channel±2 RSSI is respectively the accumulated RSSI value of a second last channel and a second next channel near by each of said channels.
