Metrics using parameters for multiple radio configurations

A method comprising:

• wirelessly connecting to other devices in a wireless network using either a first radio configuration or a second radio configuration;
• determining a first measurement related to connecting to an analysed device, of the other devices, using the first radio configuration and a second measurement related to connecting to analysed device using the second radio configuration;
• calculating, for each device in the other devices, a metric, by adding:
• a first value obtained by multiplying a first weighting greater than zero by the first measurement obtained for that device using the first radio configuration;
• and
• a second value obtained by multiplying a second weighting greater than zero by the second measurement obtained for that device using the second radio configuration, the second weighting being different than the first weighting;
• and
• selecting one of the other devices in dependence on the metric calculated for each of the other devices.
