Abstract
A method includes determining, at an access point, that a channel used to communicate with a device is experiencing interference. The method also includes, in response to the access point detecting that the channel used to communicate with the device is experiencing interference, switching, at the access point to a second channel. The second channel is selected from available channels associated with a set of candidate frequency bands. The set of candidate frequency bands is selected based on a signal quality of a particular device in communication with the access point. The particular device is a communication device in communication with the access point that has a lowest signal quality of signal qualities of communication devices in communication with the access point.
