1. A first access point, comprising:
a networking system providing communication in a wireless local area network (WLAN) with at least a first electronic device and a remote, cloud-based controller;
a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the networking system and the memory, the processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to:
aggregate communication-performance and behavior information (CPBI) corresponding to the first electronic device;
provide the CPBI to the remote, cloud-based controller;
receive, via the networking system, information about a connection of the first electronic device to a second access point in the WLAN;
in response to receiving the information, send a request to the remote, cloud-based controller for historical information about the CPBI of at least the first electronic device, the first access point, and the second access point;
receive, from the remote, cloud-based controller via the networking system, the historical information about the CPBI of the first electronic device, the first access point, and the second access point; and
after receiving the historical information, selectively send, to the first electronic device, a transition recommendation that is based on the historical information about the CPBI of the first electronic device, the first access point, and the second access point, wherein the transition recommendation instructs the first electronic device to perform a transition a different access point, a transition to a different channel, a transition to a different wireless network, or any combination thereof.
