A playback device is provided. The device includes an interface. The interface includes a first radio to communicate in a first frequency range and a second radio to communicate in a second frequency range that at least partially overlaps with the first frequency range. The interface is configured to, after a determination that an operation is to be performed by one radio from the plurality of wireless radios, obtain a parameter. The parameter includes an indication of a protocol to be used in the operation. The interface is configured to determine a priority radio with reference to an interval associated with the first radio or the second radio and an amount of isochronous data to communicate within the interval. The interface is configured to determine whether to allow the one radio to perform the operation based on the at least one parameter and the priority radio.
