Abstract
Managing an association of a wireless device to an access point device of a wireless network is disclosed. A client device sends an association request frame to one or more access point devices that is directed to a target access point device. A network controller device receives an association request event from each access point device that received an association request frame. The network controller device can select a preferred access point device based on one or more steering parameters of the associated request events. The network controller device sends the target access point device the preferred access point device as indicated by one or more preferred access point device parameters. The target access point device sends an association response frame to the client device that indicates the preferred access point device so as to steer the client device to the preferred access point device.
