Abstract
In some embodiments, a device for network connection selection may include a network connection selector configured to obtain historical connection information related to previous network connections utilized by a device. The historical connection information may include connectivity disruptions indicating whether connectivity was disrupted for one or more network connections that were previously established by the device. The network connection selector may be configured to select a network connection for the device among a plurality of available network connections based on an evaluation of the historical connection information such that the selected network connection substantially maintains connectivity to a network for a future period of time.
