A computer network as described herein includes multiple wireless switches cooperating with wireless access devices. The wireless access devices include intelligent processing that enables them to select a desired wireless switch for adoption. When in need of adoption, a wireless access device sends at least one SWITCH DISCOVER message over the network, the wireless switches reply with SWITCH OFFER messages, and the wireless access device processes the SWITCH OFFER messages to select a desired wireless switch for adoption. The SWITCH OFFER messages contain switch selection information associated with the respective wireless switches, and the wireless access device analyzes the switch selection information during the selection process.
