    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for steering a wireless device in a multi-AP environment based on target AP information. The target AP information includes signal strength data for a particular region in which the wireless device is located. The coverage areas of the multiple APs are each segmented into regions and a unique identifier is assigned to each region. When the wireless device is first eligible for steering in a particular region, it generates a measurement report which is associated with that region in a measurement map. When the wireless device is subsequently eligible for steering in that region, instead of generating another measurement report, the previously collected target AP information in the measurement map is used to steer the wireless device to a target AP.
