Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for selecting identifiers for wireless access points may include (1) receiving a request to establish an identifier for a configurable wireless access point, (2) identifying an existing access-point identifier that is used to identify at least one additional wireless access point, (3) determining a physical location of the configurable wireless access point, (4) verifying that the existing access-point identifier is not being used within a predetermined proximity of the physical location of the configurable wireless access point, and (5) assigning the existing access-point identifier to the configurable wireless access point. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
