1. A system comprising:
a controller device; and
a gateway device configured to provide wireless channels to a client device, wherein the gateway device is further configured to:
receive, from at least one client device, feedback associated with one or more wireless communication conditions observed by the client device at a location upon detection of a trigger event wherein the trigger event comprises one of the following: changing channels, moving to a different location, when airtime utilization exceeds a first threshold value, when retry rate exceeds a second threshold value, when throughput falls below a third threshold value, when latency exceeds a fourth threshold value;
transmit, to the controller device, the feedback received from the client device at the location;
receive, from the controller device, a wireless channel recommendation and a channel width recommendation from machine learning according to the feedback for use by the client device at the location for wireless communications; and
use the wireless channel recommendation and the channel width recommendation for the wireless communications with the client device at the location, wherein the client device is configured to override and adjust at least one of the wireless channel recommendation and the channel width recommendation.
