1. A network management system for managing communications of a wireless device in communication with a first wireless access point having a first signal strength at the wireless device, the network management system comprising:

  • memory for storing data and executable instructions;

    a processing component in communication with the memory, the processing component configured to execute the executable instructions to perform operations comprising;

    receiving network performance information from a plurality of wireless access points, wherein the network performance information comprises information appended by one or more wireless access points into one or more performance information packets (PIP); and

    in response to determining that network performance information exceeds one or more predetermined thresholds, sending an instruction to the wireless device that modifies at least one wireless connectivity parameter of the wireless device to improve communications on the wireless device based on the network performance information, the at least one instruction comprising an instruction commanding the wireless device to redirect wireless traffic to a second wireless access point having a second signal strength at the wireless device, despite the first signal strength being stronger than the second signal strength;

    wherein the wireless device is a wireless device operable to count a total of the data packets being communicated via the wireless device during a time period, count the data packets including real-time content being communicated via the wireless network device during the time period, determine bandwidth of the data packets being communicated via the wireless device, determine bandwidth of the data packets including real-time content being communicated via the wireless device, and determine if the one or more predetermined threshold values has been exceeded based upon collected information.
