In some implementations, the wireless access point 116 may be configured to operate initially at the first, e.g. 2.4 GHz, frequency band. In this respect, a process of intelligent band section may begin by configuring the wireless access point 116 to operate in the first frequency band, and over a given time period, the association module 242 associates one or more wireless client devices through respective association frame exchanges. In some implementations, association module 242 selects a frequency channel in the first, e.g. 2.4 GHz, frequency band (e.g., 2.41 GHz), which has low network congestion, based on recent scans of WiFi traffic across the different channels of the first frequency band.
