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 […]
OpenWiFi AP NOS Architecture Explained
As WiFi continues to evolve from traditional consumer use to enterprise-grade, carrier-managed infrastructure, OpenWiFi—a Telecom Infra Project (TIP) initiative—emerges as a game-changer. It offers a fully open-source, disaggregated stack for WiFi networks, combining whitebox hardware with a flexible, cloud-native Network Operating System (NOS) architecture. In this blog, we dive deep into the AP NOS architecture […]
ISP Wi-Fi Management: Tools, Techniques & Trends
Learn how residential ISPs manage Wi-Fi networks using modern tools, optimization techniques, and AI-driven strategies to improve speed, stability, and user experience.
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 […]
