Abstract
A device includes a first radio controller, a second radio controller, and a processor. The processor is configured to execute instructions for determining that a first signal strength of a signal received from a remote device by a first antenna electrically connected to the first radio controller is less than a minimum signal strength threshold for communications using the first antenna, identifying a network process configured to communicate with a remote device using the first radio controller or the second radio controller, and determining that the processor is not executing the network process. The processor is further configured to execute instructions for, determining a second signal strength of a second signal received from the remote device by a second antenna, determining the second signal strength is greater than the first signal strength, and causing the first radio controller to communicate using the second antenna.
