A system and method for generating display objects representing areas of radio coverage, available bandwidth and channel selection for wireless devices in a wireless communication network are disclosed. Substantially circular rings are provided defining areas of radio coverage for corresponding wireless network devices. The rings are super-imposed over a representation of the physical environment in which the wireless network is deployed. The thickness of the generated rings is representative of the amount of throughput available within the rings. A relatively thicker ring indicates that throughput within the ring is relatively high, while a relatively thin ring indicates that throughput within the ring is relatively low. The rings are further indicative of the current radio channel selected for operation by the associated device. Different colors may be associated with different channels, so that all devices using the same channel have the same color rings. Other visual indications may alternatively be used to indicate the channels associated with the generated rings. The disclosed system is especially advantageous in managing wireless communication networks in which wireless network devices dynamically adjust operational parameters such as transmission power and channel selection.
