Abstract: In an example, a wireless client station detects a first signal emitted by a first wireless access point and a second signal emitted by a second wireless access point. The wireless client station extracts a first set of data indicative of the signal strength and network congestion of the first wireless access point and a second set of data indicative of the signal strength and network congestion of the second wireless access point. The wireless client station then computes a first performance metric of first wireless access point, based on the first set of data, and a second performance metric of the second wireless access point, based on the second set of data. The wireless client station determines that the first performance metric is greater than the second performance metric and initiates a connection to the first wireless access point in response.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide the ability to handle situations that may arise when error conditions exist for a networking device. In one example method at a client device, the client device scans for a first identifier associated with the networking device and, upon finding the first identifier, connects to the networking device. As an example, the client device disconnects from the networking device if an error condition exists for the networking device. As an example, if the error condition exists, the client device decreases a priority of the networking device relative to other networking devices for subsequent scans.
