    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems for wireless communication. Some aspects more specifically relate to dynamic path selection for wireless connectivity. An access point (AP) may receive communication link information and device status information from cellular-enabled devices in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The communication link information may indicate path metrics (such as link quality information) associated with respective connections between the cellular-enabled devices and a communication network (such as the Internet). The device status information may indicate operational metrics associated with the cellular-enabled devices (such as battery status information or cellular subscription information). If, for example, the performance of a default connection between the AP and the communication network deteriorates, the AP may select one of the cellular-enabled devices to relay wireless communications between the communication network and the AP in accordance with the communication link information and the device status information.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for a wireless communication network including detecting a trigger to switch a serving channel at a first access point, and communicating a first channel switch message from the first access point to a second access point. The first access point may be in a downstream and/or upstream or communication flow in relation to the second access point. The process may include communicating a first Channel Switching Announcement (CSA) message from the second access point to at least one client of the second access point, where the least one client is one of a plurality of clients receiving internet connectivity through a series of communication flows including a data flow through the second access point. The process further includes revising a time to switch channel information included in the first channel switch message, where the first CSA message includes the revised time to switch channel information.
