An access point may utilize fast exchange of operation information with other access points in a wireless local area network (WLAN) to facilitate improved service. In particular, the access point may discover the other access points in a radio-frequency (RF) neighborhood using wireless communication. Then, the access point may exchange operational information with the other access points using dedicated connections. Subsequently, the access point may associate with the electronic device. If the access point determines that a basic-service-set (BSS) transition is warranted based on a criterion (such as the current number of associations with the access point), the access point may recommend one or more access points in the other access points for the electronic device to associate with based on the operational information, so that the electronic device is able to obtain improved communication performance relative to that provided by the access point.
