1. A method of providing dynamically updated wireless communications, the method comprising:

  • determining if a signal strength of a current wireless access point with which wireless communications is established is below an adjustable search triggering signal strength threshold;

    searching for any additional wireless access points if the signal strength of the current wireless access point is determined to be below the adjustable search triggering signal strength threshold;

    determining if a signal strength of at least one new wireless access point located by the searching is at least equal to a roam triggering signal strength threshold;

    roaming if the signal strength of the at least one new wireless access point located by the searching is at least equal to the roam triggering signal strength threshold; and

    adjusting the adjustable search triggering signal strength threshold if no new wireless access point has a signal strength that is at least equal to the roam triggering signal strength threshold.
