Abstract
Techniques for automated network adjustment are provided. A first data rate currently supported by a first access point is determined, and a second data rate is identified to be evaluated. A first sensor device of a plurality of sensor devices is identified, where a signal strength between the first sensor device and the first access point exceeds a predefined threshold. A first packet error rate is determined for communications between the first sensor device and the first access point using the first data rate, and a second packet error rate is determined for communications between the first sensor device and the first access point using the second data rate. Upon determining that the second packet error rate is lower than the first packet error rate, the first access point is automatically reconfigured to use the second data rate.
