1. A method for classifying access points (APs), the method comprising:
automatically classifying a set of APs based on an AP attribute of each AP in the set of APs;
determining, based on the automatic classification, that a first subset of APs in the set of APs are classified into a first class;
configuring the first subset of APs with a configuration parameter;
measuring performance of the first subset of APs based on a performance metric of the set of APs;
selecting an AP of the first subset of APs that furthest exceeds the performance metric of the set of APs;
determining, based on the automatic classification, that a second subset of APs in the set of APs are classified into the first class, the second subset comprising one or more APs outside the first subset of APs; and
automatically recommending a recommended configuration parameter for the second subset of APs based on the performance of the selected AP of the first subset of APs, the recommended configuration parameter causing the second subset of APs to perform based on a performance metric associated with the first class.
