Patent ID: 11979751

Abstract:
Techniques for identifying one or more wireless access points (APs), from among a plurality of APs including 6 GHz radios, as candidates to operate in standard power indoor (SPI) mode. Identification is based on at least one of: determining that network switches associated with the wireless APs meet a threshold requirement relating to power over ethernet (PoE) for operating in SPI mode, determining, based on at least one of radio frequency (RF) density and channel quality relating to the plurality of APs, that the one or more APs should operate in SPI mode as opposed to lower power indoor (LPI) mode, and determining that operating the one or more APs in SPI mode improves quality of service (QoS) metrics for the plurality of APs as opposed to operating the one or more APs in LPI mode. The one or more wireless APs are configured to operate in SPI mode.
