Abstract: A method for switching channels of communication between a host or media device and a peripheral device includes steps for detecting a trigger condition for performing a channel switch operation of a currently selected channel. The currently selected channel may be one of a plurality of channels that can be used by the media device to communicate with the peripheral device. For example, the host device may select a predefined channel (e.g., for a hard-coded channel selection) or a candidate channel (e.g., for a dynamic channel selection) from the plurality of channels. The host device may determine whether it is configured for performing a dynamic channel switch based on channel scores associated with channels in the plurality of channels.

Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to improving path selection within a network having a single service set identifier (SSID), and more particularly, toward a media device selecting an access point from a group of access points on the same SSID based on composite metrics generated for each access point. The composite metrics may be based on network capabilities of the media device and the respective access points in the group of access points.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for optimizing network connections of media devices using IPv6 and DNS tests to detect network issues related to IPv6 addressing and improper DNS server assignments. Upon detection of such network issues, network connections may preemptively adjust IPv6 and DNS configuration parameters to optimize connections for the media devices.
