A configurable wireless switched network includes a wireless access point. The wireless access point includes an application that is executable thereon. The application is configured to set, by a user via an input component, a first port of a plurality of ports as a command channel. The command channel provides a first point of contact between the wireless access point and client devices. The application is also configured to receive configuration parameters from the user. The configuration parameters include port allocation instructions for the ports and identifiers of the client devices. The application is further configured to monitor bandwidth utilization on a network; receive, at the command channel, a request from one of the client devices to access the network; and assign one of the ports to the client device based on the port allocation instructions, the bandwidth utilization, and an identifier of the client device.
