Systems, devices, and methods relate to a hybrid wireless access point (AP) which can support both single-channel mode and multi-channel mode at same time and within the same device. Uplink and/or downlink packets may be received by the hybrid AP, where the received packet may be same packet sent to different hybrid APs, and then each hybrid AP may decide to use these received packets for single-channel architecture (SCA), multi-channel architecture (MCA), or both. In SCA, the hybrid APs may communicate with each other to sync the SCA behavior.

Single channel deployment over wireless network topologies

Systems, devices, and methods for two or more access points (APs), where each AP comprises: at least one LAN port for connection to the wired network; at least one LAN port for connection between at least one other AP; a processor having addressable memory, where the processor of a first AP of the two or more APs is configured to: select the first AP of the two or more APs as a primary AP; select the second AP of the two or more APs as a back-up AP; detect, via a trigger, a failure of the primary AP; and configure the second AP as the primary AP and the first AP as the back-up AP if the failure of the first AP is detected.

System and method for single-channel architecture for immediate access point redundancy

Systems, devices, and methods for one or more hybrid access points, each hybrid access point comprising: an Ethernet port connecting the hybrid access point to one or more connected devices, where the Ethernet port is associated with an Ethernet-based media access control (MAC) address; one or more physical radios configured to transmit and receive wireless signals between the hybrid access point and one or more user devices; one or more virtual access points (VAPs) configured by the one or more physical radios, where the one or more VAPs comprise: at least one VAP configured to utilize a MAC layer of a multi-channel architecture (MCA); and at least one VAP configured to utilize a MAC layer of a channel blanket single-channel architecture (SCA); and a bridge connecting each VAP to the hybrid access point Ethernet port via the Ethernet-based MAC address.
