Abstract:
Coordinating access points (APs) used to facilitate network access is contemplated, such as but not necessary limited to facilitating coordination among a plurality of APs in a wireless local area network of a home or other location where the plurality of APs cooperate to facilitate interfacing signaling with another network.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12  further comprising the configuration parameters including:\n an AssociatedClientReportFrequency variable indicating how often each AP sends ACPs over the first LAN; \n a SteeringRequestResponsePeriod variable indicating how long each AP has to send a SteeringRequest after receipt of one of the ACPs and how long each AP must wait for receipt of all Steering Requests after sending one of the ACPs; \n a 5GHzTo2_4 GHzPreference variable indicating a maximum amount that a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a 5 GHz basic service set (BSS) can be lower than a SNR of a 2.4 GHz BSS on the same AP to steer one or more clients from the 2.4 GHz BSS to the 5 GHz BSS; \n an APToAPSNRSteeringThreshold variable indicating a minimum SNR difference between the SNR of one of the APs relative to another one of the APs to warrant steering one of the clients; \n a PingPongOccurances variable indicating a maximum number of times one or more of the clients can ping-pong back and forth between APs within PingPongTime seconds before the one or more of the clients is steered to it the AP with a higher media access control (MAC) address; \n a PingPongTime variable indicating a time period during which ping-pongs are counted; \n a PingPongHysteresis variable indicating a minimum difference that SNR must be between two APs before a client characterized as ping-pong can be steered to another AP; \n a ReceivedProbeStaleTimer variable indicating how long probe request information is to be retained on the APs before being discarded; and \n a MaximumSteeringTimeout variable indicating maximum time that the APs permit the client to associate before indicating a failure.
