1. A computer-implemented method on a Wi-Fi device connected to a data communication network for dynamically resizing aggregation windows based on network congestion feedback, the method comprising the steps of:

  • transmitting aggregated data packets, the aggregated data packets having a data field of varying size;

    receiving feedback indicative of a level of network congestion on the data communication network;

    determining that that the network congestion level exceeds a predetermined threshold;

    correlating the network congestion level to an optimal data field size for the aggregated data packets;

    configure a MAC layer for the optimal data field size; and

    transmitting subsequent aggregated data packets using the optimal data field size.
