A system and method are disclosed for reducing radio interference between wireless access points. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network management system (NMS) (102) having a controller (103) that manages operations of a plurality of wireless access points (WAPs) (108) by way of a communication system (100) coupled thereto. The plurality of WAPs can conform to one among IEEE's 802.11 a, b, g and n protocols. The controller can be programmed to determine (302) a mode of operations for each of the plurality of WAPs, and selectively reconfigure (308) operations of at least one of the plurality of WAPs to reduce radio interference therebetween. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
