1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one hardware processor, causes performance of operations comprising:

  • determining a non-Wi-Fi signal on a radio frequency channel during a subset of a period of time during which non-Wi-Fi signals are being monitored;

    determining a particular noise floor value based at least in part on a signal strength associated with the non-Wi-Fi signal that was determined during the subset of the period of time during which non-Wi-Fi signals were being monitored;

    in response to a determination that interference impacts the signal strength, programming an artificially higher particular noise floor at a device;

    configuring the higher particular noise floor for the device, the device being configured to receive signals with a signal strength above the higher particular noise floor value;

    testing, based on a packet retry rate, the configured higher particular noise floor for the device to determine a device performance level measurement; and

    in response to the device performance level measurement below a particular threshold, incrementally increasing the higher particular noise floor until the particular threshold is met.
