1. A method comprising:
identifying a plurality of wireless devices communicatively coupled to an access point;
generating, using one or more processing elements, a plurality of groups of wireless devices based, at least in part, on a plurality of device classification parameters associated with the plurality of wireless devices, wherein the plurality of device classification parameters comprises one or more identifiers identifying a manufacturer of a device;
generating, using the one or more processing elements, a plurality of containers for the plurality of groups of wireless devices based on network configuration information, wherein a container is generated for each group of the plurality of groups based on network configuration information and device information configured to be used by the access point to manage wireless connections for that group of wireless devices, and wherein each of the plurality of groups of wireless devices is associated with a container and a basic service set identifier (BSSID); and
implementing, using the one or more processing elements, the plurality of containers in the access point, wherein each of the plurality of groups of wireless devices has at least one associated container, and wherein each container is configured to be used by a connection manager of the access point to implement connection settings for wireless connections between the access point and the group of wireless devices associated with each container.
