A non-transitory computer readable medium, a device, and a method for configuring a channel at an access point (AP) are disclosed. In an embodiment, the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions for receiving an Internet Protocol (IP) geolocation of an AP at an AP manager, where the IP geolocation indicates a physical location country of the AP, obtaining a configuration of the AP from a configuration database, the configuration of the AP including a configured country, determining whether the physical location country matches the configured country, identifying a common channel when the physical location country of the AP and the configured country of the AP do not match, the common channel including a channel that is authorized for use in both the physical location country and in the configured country, and pushing an indication of the common channel from the AP manager to the AP in a configuration message.

Methods and devices for configuring a channel at an access point (AP)

Radio channel configuration is described for an access point using a multiprotocol-border gateway protocol (MP-BGP) message. In an example a report is received in a MP-BGP message from each of a plurality of APs at an AP manager. Each report includes a channel quality indicator of other APs as measured by the AP that sent the respective report. The reports are deparsed and aggregated. A transmit power adjustment is determined for a selected AP based on the aggregated reports at the AP manager and a transmit power adjustment command is sent to the selected AP.
