1. A wireless network, comprising:
a plurality of nodes; and
at least one controller having memory configured to store a site map indicating a location for each of the plurality of nodes, the at least one controller configured to receive information indicating a location of a target node that is using network settings of a different network for communication and is unaware of network settings of the wireless network, the at least one controller configured to compare the location of the target nodes to locations of the plurality of nodes indicated by the site map and to select automatically, based on comparisons of the location of the target node to the locations of the plurality of nodes indicated by the site map, a first subset of the plurality of nodes for attempting communication with the target node using the network settings of the different network, the at least one controller further configured to instruct each node of the first subset to attempt communication with the target node using the network settings of the different network for changing the network settings used by the target node such that the target node communicates through the wireless network.
