ACCESS POINT RADIO FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, for a given Access Point (AP) in a wireless network, data regarding: (a) radios of a first set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a first frequency, a wireless client associated with the given AP, and (b) radios of a second set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a second frequency, the wireless client;

determining, for a radio of the given AP and based on the received data, a frequency redundancy for a set of wireless clients in the wireless network; and

automatically adjusting a frequency of the radio of the given AP based on the determined frequency redundancy.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency redundancy of the radio of the given AP is determined based on whether disabling operation of the radio of the given AP at a given frequency would reduce network connectivity service to wireless clients in the wireless network.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically adjusting the frequency of the radio of the given AP is further based on a number of clients being served by the given AP at a given frequency.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the received data includes a number of radios of the first set of neighboring APs and a number of radios of the second set of neighboring APs.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is performed by the given AP.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is performed by a wireless controller.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first frequency is about 2.4 GHz and the second frequency is about 5 GHz.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically adjusting the frequency of the radio of the given AP includes automatically switching the radio of the given AP to operate at a 5 GHz frequency.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the given AP includes multiple radios operating at a 5 GHz frequency.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes:

periodically receiving neighboring radio data for the given AP;

periodically determining frequency redundancy for the radio of the given AP based on the received neighboring radio data; and

periodically and automatically adjusting a frequency of the radio of the given AP based on the determined frequency redundancy.

11 . A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions to cause a computer processor to:

receive frequency radio data for Access Points (APs) neighboring a given AP;

determine whether the frequency of a given dual-band radio of the given AP should be switched from a first frequency to a second frequency based on the received frequency radio data; and

automatically adjust a frequency of the dual-band radio of the given AP based on the received data.

12 . The medium of claim 11 , wherein determining whether the frequency of a given dual-band radio of the given AP should be adjusted from a first frequency to a second frequency is further based on whether switching the frequency of the given dual-band radio would reduce network connectivity service to wireless clients in the wireless network.

13 . A computing device comprising:

a processing resource; and

a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:

receive data indicating: (a) potential coverage of a wireless client associated with a given Access Point (AP) by neighboring APs at a first frequency, and (b) potential coverage of the wireless client by neighboring APs at a second frequency;

determine a level of redundancy for coverage of the wireless client at both the first and second frequency; and

adjust a frequency of a radio of the given AP based on the determined redundancy levels.

14 . The AP of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are to cause the processing resource to adjust a frequency of the radio of the given AP by turning on the radio and enabling operation of the radio at the first or second frequency.

15 . The AP of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are to cause the processing resource to adjust a frequency of the radio of the given AP by switching the radio from the first frequency to the second frequency.
