A server has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to collect scan lists from client devices. Each scan list includes individual entries. Each individual entry specifies a WiFi access point network identifier collected by a client. WiFi access point networks in the scan lists are evaluated. WiFi access point handshake priorities are supplied to the client devices. The WiFi access point handshake priorities characterize WiFi access point recovery and discovery priorities.

Apparatus and method for establishing WiFi access point handshake priorities

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to access a list of Wi-Fi networks available to a user device. User network activity is classified. It is determined that there is a new Wi-Fi network for the user device to initiate a connection attempt. In the event of an existing licensed spectrum wireless network data connection on the user device, licensed spectrum wireless network data connection analytics are collected and an attempt is made to transition to the new Wi-Fi network to produce either a failed transition to the new Wi-Fi network or a successful transition to the new Wi-Fi network. In the event of an existing Wi-Fi network collection on the user device or a successful transition to the new Wi-Fi network, available Wi-Fi networks are periodically assessed to establish one of a network unavailable state and a network available state.
