A system for interference detection includes one or more processors are configured to receive from one or more access points within a wireless network information indicative of airtime usage of one or more client devices associated with the one or more access points, determine an amount of total interference for at least one of the access points on a first channel, the total interference including foreign interference and in-network interference, determine a correlation between the total interference and the airtime usage of the one or more client devices, determine an amount of the foreign interference or an amount of the in-network interference based on the correlation, and selectively switch the at least one of the access points from communicating on the first channel to communicating on a second channel based on the determined amount of the foreign interference or the determined amount of the in-network interference.
