1. A computerized system comprising:
- a mobile controller;
a remote controller;
first and second wireless adaptors operatively coupled to the mobile controller and configured to operate independently such that;
a. one is scanning for a connection between the mobile controller and the remote controller while the other retains a connection between the mobile controller and the remote controller;
b. they operate to automatically;
a. scan to find available wireless access points;
b. connect to the remote controller through a first wireless access point with the first wireless adaptor and evaluate the connectivity of the connection;
c. while retaining connectivity with the remote controller through the first wireless adaptor, connect to the remote controller through a second wireless access point with the second wireless adaptor and evaluate the connectivity of the connection;
d. compare the evaluated connectivities of the first and second wireless adaptors to find a highest evaluated connection and a lowest evaluated connection; and
e. maintain connectivity between the mobile controller and remote controller through the highest evaluated connection,wherein the mobile controller is configured to evaluate the connectivity of the connection with first or second channel based at least in part upon a factor selected from the group consisting of;
latency, packet loss, and financial cost of connectivity.

Abstract
Configurations are described for maintaining a continuity and quality of wireless signal connection between a mobile device and systems accessible through the internet. In particular, configurations are disclosed to address the challenge of a mobile device that moves through a physical environment wherein the best wireless connectivity performance is achieved by switching between available connection sources and constantly evaluating a primary connection with other available connections that may be switched in to become a new primary connection. The mobile device may be self-propelled or carried by some other mobilizing means.
