Abstract
An example technique performed by a client on a device includes: detecting a mobility state of the device in a presence of a wireless network; determining, based at least in part on the mobility state, that the wireless network is a preferred wireless network for the device; in response to determining that the wireless network is a preferred wireless network, elevating a priority of the wireless network in a set of wireless networks to which the device is connectable; and connecting the device to the wireless network based, at least in part, on the priority of the wireless network.
