Abstract

A wireless access point managing apparatus for achieving power savings by turning off access points that are not providing the high signal quality. The wireless access point determines whether a first signal quality level is at or above a threshold level, and if so, sends a power-up signal to a second access point, and determines whether the first signal quality level is higher or lower than a second quality level, i.e., the level from the second access point, transfers a streaming session to the second access point if the first signal quality level is lower than second signal quality level. If the first signal quality level is higher than the second signal quality level, the apparatus sends a power-down signal to the second access point.
