Abstract

In one embodiment, a networking system can comprise a networking device comprising an operating system module and performance management modules. The performance management modules can comprise at least one of a channel hopping module or a channel bonding module. The channel hopping module can switch the networking device from a first channel to a second channel having less interference than the first channel. The channel bonding module can toggle the networking device between a single-channel communications mode and a bonded channel communications mode via a plurality of bonded channels. The operating system module can actuate at least one of the performance management modules to sustain a performance level of the networking device in response to one or more triggering events from a performance review operation executed by the operating system module. Other examples and related methods are described herein.
