Many WLANs are widely based on IEEE 802.11 standards. Research has been relentlessly conducted in order to improve the quality of signal strength. Even in high-speed systems such as IEEE 802.11a/b/g, traffic congestion is still a major barrier that degrades consistent connectivity for hosts attached to the access point (AP). Most networks that have this problem are large and employ multiple APs. Another solution is to have the APs intelligently to determine the size of the network. Under these congested conditions, intelligent APs are required to communicate with each other and determine the number of hosts connected with their respective bandwidth usage. A select number of APs will have their firmware modified so that the coverage range will be autonomously changed to balance the overall traffic. Simulations will be conducted in order to test the firmware once it is ready. Performance results will also be recorded and presented.
