Abstract

In one embodiment, a device, having a first and a second network interface, detects a switchover by the first network interface from using a preferred wireless access standard to access a carrier network to using a second wireless access standard to access the carrier network. The device identifies when the preferred wireless access standard is again available from the carrier network using the second network interface and causes the first network interface to switch to using the preferred wireless access standard, based on identification by the second network interface that the preferred wireless access standard is again available from the carrier network.
