Abstract
An approach for providing wireless network services using a WAP group includes establishing a WAP group that represents a logical grouping of WAPs. Communications between WAPs in the WAP group and clients are performed using a shared BSSID. One of the WAPs in the WAP group is designated as a master WAP and the other WAPs in the WAP group are designated as slave WAPs. The master WAP assigns WAPs in the WAP group to provide wireless networking services to clients. The assignment is performed based upon the performance of communications channels used to carry communications between the clients and the WAPs in the WAP group and current loads of the WAPs in the WAP group. The assignments may be dynamically changed over time, based upon changes in the performance of the communications channels and/or changes in WAP loading.
