Claim One:
1. A system to optimize a performance of access points in a wireless network, comprising: an interface circuit to connect to a plurality of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and to receive real-time access point data from a plurality of access points in the WLANs, the real-time access point data including access point profile data comprising access point hardware and software information, a data of installation, service data, and connected node information; and a processor communicatively coupled to the interface circuit, the processor to execute machine readable instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to: calculate a dependent variable for the performance of access points and calculate independent variables that impact the dependent variable based on the real-time access point data received from the plurality of access points; generate a model to forecast the performance of the access points and determine an impact ranking for the independent variables from the dependent and independent variables, wherein the impact ranking sequences the independent variables according to their impact on the dependent variable describing the performance of the access points; and adjust a controllable parameter of the access points according to the impact ranking, wherein the processor is to generate an access point instruction, including the controllable parameter, to send to each of the access points via the interface circuit, and the access points include a controller to receive the instruction and locally set the controllable parameter according to the instruction.
