Abstract
A multiple access point system includes a wireless network including a first channel and a second channel. The system further includes a first access point and a second access point co-located within a single physical location environment, a wireless backhaul connecting the first and second access points to the wireless network, and a processor configured to (i) assign the first channel as a primary channel of the first access point and the second channel as a primary channel of the second access point, and (ii) assign the first channel as a secondary channel of the second access point and the second channel as a secondary channel of the second access point. The primary channel of the first access point does not overlap with the primary channel of the second access point, and the secondary channel of the second access point overlaps with the first access point.
