Access point selection
Disclosed aspects relate to access point selection. A set of beacon frame transmission data for a set of access points is collected by a computing device. The set of beacon frame transmission data includes first and second subsets including frame rates for access points and network capability data including security data for access points. The computing device compares factors derived utilizing the frame rates. The computing device weights the beacon frame transmission data with respect to the network capability data for the access points, wherein the weighting indicates security data has a heavier weight than network signal strength. The computing device computes, using the first and second factors and the weighting, a set of expected network quality scores. The computing device determines, using the set of expected network quality scores, to establish the connection utilizing the first access point. The computing device establishes the connection utilizing the first access point.
