1. A method for automatically roaming with a wireless device, comprising:
- sampling a signal strength of a first wireless signal at a time interval;
determining whether the signal strength is less than a threshold for a predetermined duration;
setting the wireless device to roam on a second wireless signal in response to the signal strength of the first wireless signal being less than the threshold for the predetermined duration; and
resetting the wireless device to a default setting for communication after a second predetermined duration.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically roaming with a wireless device. A signal strength of a first wireless signal is sampled at a time interval. A determination is made whether the signal strength is less than a threshold for a predetermined duration. The wireless device is set to roam on a second wireless signal in response to the signal strength of the first wireless signal being less than the threshold for the predetermined duration. The wireless device is reset to a default setting for communication after a predetermined duration.
