Why ISPs Need an API-First Architecture for AI-Driven Device Automation
In the next wave of ISP network management, automation isn’t optional—it’s the foundation. With the rise of AI agents capable of provisioning, optimizing, and troubleshooting devices autonomously, the underlying architecture of your device management platform will determine how far and how fast you can scale. Unfortunately, many ISPs are still dependent on legacy ACS/TR-069-based systems—architectures […]
Reinforcement Learning for Wi-Fi: Channel Planning in MDUs
In dense multi-dwelling units (MDUs), Wi-Fi interference and suboptimal performance are constant challenges. Traditional static channel planning falls short in these dynamic environments. This blog explores how reinforcement learning (RL)—a branch of AI—can intelligently and autonomously optimize channel assignments across multiple access points (APs). By continuously analyzing real-time network conditions and adapting to changes, RL enables smarter, faster, and more efficient Wi-Fi management. Discover how this cutting-edge approach can reduce interference, enhance performance, and offer ISPs a scalable, vendor-neutral solution for modern Wi-Fi networks.

More Power ≠ Better Wi-Fi: Why Intelligent Design Matters More Than Transmit Strength
In the world of home and enterprise Wi-Fi, the phrase “just turn up the power” has become a common reflex to resolve coverage issues. But at Router Architects, we’ve seen firsthand how this approach can lead to sub-optimal network performance, increased interference, and user dissatisfaction. Let’s break down why increasing transmit power is rarely the […]
