Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for load balancing access points (APs) in a mesh network. Certain aspects are directed to obtaining load information from each wireless device of a set of wireless devices, the load information being indicative of resource availability for each band available to each wireless device of the set. In some examples, the disclosure is directed to identifying a first band and a first wireless device of the set of wireless devices associated with the first band based on the first band having a highest level of traffic among bands available to the set of wireless devices.
