Abstract
A wireless communications device is provided with a storage unit and a processor. The storage unit is configured to store signal strengths and throughputs of a plurality of Access Points (APs) which the wireless communications device was previously or is currently connected to. The processor is configured to update the stored signal strength and throughput of the currently connected AP, and scan for available APs nearby in response to detecting a low-throughput condition of the currently connected AP.
