Dynamic quality of service for control of media streams using feedback from the local environment

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• at least one memory unit including computer program code, the at least one memory unit and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• establish, utilizing a first radio module, a first wireless connection to a base station associated with a wide area network (WAN);
• establish, utilizing a second radio module, a second wireless connection with at least one downstream device to establish a wireless local area network (WLAN) between the at least one downstream device and the apparatus;
• transmit a media stream to the at least one downstream device in accordance with a quality of service determined based on feedback from a local environment in which at least one of the apparatus and the at least one downstream device operate.
