Connection settings used by a mobile device to connect to a packet data network, e.g. the internet, are stored in a subscriber identity module (SIM) card. This enables connection settings to be pre-loaded on a SIM card, allowing a mobile device to immediately connect to the internet without manual configuration. The mobile device's connection settings may also be updated by a mobile network operator via an over the air profile update. For example, the operator may supply a device with connection settings the first time it connects to the network. Connection settings may be stored in one or more files within the SIM profile, and may be updated via a remote file management operation. Embedded-SIM (eSIM) profiles may also store connection settings in profile metadata, which may be updated via a metadata update operation.

Systems and methods herein recognize that form factors executing personal computer (PC) operating systems experience limited connectivity when traveling between WiFi connections and/or wired connections. Not only does this limit research capabilities of the PC form factor while between WiFi and/or wired connections, but the limitations place data integrity at risk. Systems and methods herein monitor for conditions that cause data integrity risks and seamlessly implement solutions that resolve, reduce, and/or manage identified data integrity risk conditions at least by simplifying a user's ability to identify and connect to networks, which offer data integrity risk solutions.
