Claim One:
1. A method of managing Wi-Fi access points (APs), comprising: selecting by a processor between a global optimization and a local optimization of Wi-Fi AP parameters based at least in part on one or more factors; causing a global optimization to be performed in the event that a global optimization is selected, the global optimization comprising: searching for adjustments to a first set of Wi-Fi AP parameters that optimize an overall performance associated with a global region, the global region including a first set of APs; and causing a local optimization to be performed in the event that a local optimization is selected, the local optimization comprising: searching for adjustments to a second set of Wi-Fi AP parameters that optimize an overall performance associated with a localized region, the localized region including a second set of APs, wherein the second set of APs comprises a subset of the first set of APs.
