An access point and an integrated circuit including processor are disclosed operating the transceiver to create a station link table for a link to the station, a channel quality estimate of the home channel, an other channel quality sample log for at least one other channel and an other channel quality estimate based upon the other channel sample log. The processor using the station link table and the channel quality estimate of the home channel to determine if the access point has difficulty meeting the minimum required bandwidth and responds to difficulty by determining if the other channel can meet the minimum required bandwidth and schedule changing the home channel to the other channel.
