TECHNICAL FIELD

Teachings relate to wireless access points. Teachings more particularly relate to the control of wireless connections between a number of access points and user devices and the channels upon which those connections operate.

BACKGROUND

Devices with strong, clear wireless connections are optimal. There are many issues obstructing this goal. Some examples include limitations of broadcast frequencies, range of wireless network broadcasts, interference from dormant objects (i.e. walls), interference from active objects (i.e. microwaves, TV's), interference from other wireless devices (i.e. access points on other networks, both local and foreign connected devices), and conflicting device configurations. Generally speaking, the effectiveness of the function of an access point or a series of access points (i.e. signal repeaters) is highly dependent on a given user's behavior and the immediate environment of the access point(s). Thus, an access point that takes advantage of this information is useful.

SUMMARY

Introduced here is a multi-band (e.g., Tri-band) wireless networking system. In some embodiments, the multi-band wireless networking system includes multiple wireless networking devices. At least one of the wireless networking devices is connected to the Internet and serves as a router. The remaining wireless networking device(s) serve as satellite(s) that are wirelessly connected to the router via a wireless channel (a band), which is dedicated to the communications between the wireless networking devices. Both the router and the satellites provide wireless network connections (e.g., WiFi connections) to client devices, such as desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, mobile phones, wearable smart devices, game consoles, smart home devices, etc. The router and the satellites provide to the client devices a single wireless network with broad coverage. The multi-band wireless networking system dynamically optimizes the wireless connections of the client devices without the need of reconnecting.

Other aspects of the disclosed embodiments will be apparent from the accompanying figures and detailed description.

This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that is further explained in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
