Abstract
A useable wireless network connection is continuously maintained for a client device.
Claims34
A method comprising:
- determining whether a client device currently has a useable wireless network connection;
- and
- when said client device does not currently have a useable wireless network connection, iterating through a plurality of WLAN profiles within said wireless device to attempt to find a WLAN profile that is capable of providing a useable wireless network connection for said client device.
A method comprising:
- associating a client device with a wireless AP;
- determining, after associating, whether a condition of a usable wireless network connection has been satisfied;
- and
- adding said wireless AP to an exclusion list within said client device when it is determined that said condition has not been satisfied.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller to determine whether said apparatus currently has a useable wireless network connection and to automatically iterate through a plurality of WLAN profiles stored within said apparatus to attempt to find a WLAN profile that is capable of providing a useable wireless network connection when it is determined that said apparatus does not currently have a useable wireless network connection.
A system comprising:
- a dipole antenna to facilitate transmission of signals into a wireless channel;
- and
- a controller, in communication with said dipole antenna, to determine whether said system currently has a useable wireless network connection and to automatically iterate through a plurality of WLAN profiles stored within said system to attempt to find a WLAN profile that is capable of providing a useable wireless network connection when it is determined that said system does not currently have a useable wireless network connection.
An article comprising a storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing platform, operate to:
- determine whether a client device currently has a useable wireless network connection;
- and
- when said client device does not currently have a useable wireless network connection, iterate through a plurality of WLAN profiles within said wireless device to attempt to find a WLAN profile that is capable of providing a useable wireless network connection for said client device.
